ABSTRACT
The paper presents a method of choosing the function of nonlinear approximation and squeezing forces in relation to two independent variables of temperature and time of heating for the process of squeezing the thermally processed hot lupine seeds meant for grinding or slicing. The method was based on the mathematic modelling of unit functions of squeeze and unit energy depending on the temperature in the drying chamber and the time of heating the raw material. The method was illustrated by an example of preparing and testing the lupine seeds samples subjected to the process of heating in a universal drying device SUP-4 and squeezing hot seeds on a machine for resistance tests Instron 4320. The studies found out a statistically significant decrease of the values of energy and the force of squeezing the seeds earlier subjected to thermal treatment.
Key words: squeezing process, thermal treatment, mathematic projection.
