The aim of this research was to study the behaviour of the drying kinetics of pepino fruit
(Solanum muricatum Ait.) at five temperatures (50, 60, 70, 80 and 90° C). In addition …

The effect of air temperature and sample thickness on the drying kinetics of kale was
investigated using a convective air dryer at a fixed airflow rate of 1m/s and drying air …

The thin-layer drying behaviour of mint leaves for a temperature range of 35–60° C was
determined in a cabinet dryer. The increase in air temperature significantly reduced the …

Beginning with harvesting, seeds are usually subjected to a series of processes which
include drying for immediate or future use. Seed quality can be influenced by several factors …

This article presents basic concepts related to the thermodynamics of sorption of water and
measurement of sorption isotherm for food materials. A comprehensive review of the widely …

An experimental study was performed to determine the drying characteristics of hull-less
seed pumpkin using hot air, solar tunnel and open sun drying methods. For the hot air …

The effect of air temperature and two different shapes (cuboidal and cylindrical) with 3
aspect ratio of each shape on the drying kinetics of potato (Solanum tuberosum) in fluidized …

Thin-layer drying of amaranth grain was conducted at 40, 50, 60 and 70° C and a moisture
range from about 32.5% to 5.0%, dry basis. A mathematical model based on Fick's second …

Natural drying characteristics of sesame seeds (SS) were investigated under indoor
conditions with both forced convection (FC) and natural convection (NC) of air. The drying …

The drying behaviour, shrinkage and moisture distribution within cylindrical pieces of
plantain, of varying thickness, and with different air temperatures, were studied in an …
