Seeds were separated from tomato waste by sedimentation and dried in cabinet/fluidised
bed dryers at 50, 70 and 90oC using tray load of 4, 8 and 12kgm− 2. Sorption isotherms …

The drying behaviour of tomato slices was investigated at 45, 60 and 75° C. Three falling
rate periods were observed with diffusion coefficients in the range 3.72–12.27× 10− 9m2s …

Tomato peel was separated from pomace by sedimentation and dried in cabinet and
fluidized-bed dryer at 50–70° C using 4–12 kg/m2tray load. The drying of tomato peel took …

An experimental dryer was constructed to carry out thin layer drying studies of amaranth
seeds (Amaranthus cruentus) in the temperature range of 30–60° C and relative humidity …

Mint has been used as a medicinal and aromatic plant since ancient times. Its leaves are
used for flavoring, tea infusions and spicing. In addition, mint oil is used to treat several …

Pumpkin seeds were soaked in 25% w/w NaCl solution for 1 h before hot-air drying with a
tray dryer or a fluidized bed dryer (FBD) at drying temperatures of 60, 70 and 80 C. The FBD …

The drying characteristics of carrots are investigated experimentally and theoretically for
different drying conditions. Carrot slices with three different thicknesses are used. Initially …

Pumpkin seeds are a major agricultural waste from the fresh-cut produce industry. The
objective of this study was to investigate the drying behavior of untreated, whole pumpkin …

Drying characteristics of Mulberry (M. alba) including sorption isotherms and drying kinetics
were investigated. Adsorption and desorption isotherms at 10, 20 and 30° C and isosteric …

Moisture equilibrium data and thin-layer drying rates for melon seeds at different
temperatures (40° C–70° C) and relative humidities (10%–88%) were determined using …
