Abstract
ABSTRACT The efficient processing of periwinkle is vital to unlocking its economic potentials, thus meeting our nutritional needs. This study aims to optimize the processing parameters using numerical simulation to achieve maximum periwinkle separation efficiency(SE). Models were developed to relate the processing factors and operating parameters with periwinkle SE. The optimum periwinkle machines’ SE of 78.56% and 77.27% were obtained at 133.6 rpm, 1.21 m/s, 0.23 kg/s, and 7.2 min for Tympanotonus fuscatus; 140 rpm,1.23 m/s, 0.19 kg/s, and 8 min for Pachymelania aurita. The results showed that CS, AS, FR and HCT had significant effects on periwinkle meat SE.
