Simulation of the process of cryogenic freezing of coriander seeds by N. V. Sterekhova, Z. A. Meretukov, S. Y. Gonezhuk, R. G. Shishova

“…In the technology for extracting the required components from plant raw materials, in most cases, the grinding process is used as a preparatory operation before the main process, followed by the separation of the extracted material into target components.In most cases, as a result of such a process, we can talk about the effective extraction of only a single target component, while others inevitably lose their qualitative and quantitative indicators, which is due to the morphology of the plant raw material.One of the promising directions in the processes of destruction of plant material for further operations is selective disintegration. …”
