Agricultural products such as coffee, tobacco, tea, fruit, cocoa beans, rice, nuts, and timber
generally require drying through a consistent application of relatively low heat. Traditionally …

Sweet potato (SP) is an important root crop grown all over the world and consumed as a
vegetable, boiled, baked or often fermented into food and beverages. It could be a very good …

Solar PV system powered mixed-mode solar tunnel dryer (STD) for drying potato chips was
studied. The STD was equipped with axial dc fan and flat plate solar air collector to enhance …

Drying behaviour of red apples was experimentally examined in a laboratory dryer at drying
temperatures of 55, 65 and 75° C and a constant air velocity of 2.0 m/s. Two pre-treatments …

The influences of drying temperature, hot air velocity and thickness of peach slice on the
drying process were studied in a laboratory convective hot air dryer. The experimental data …

Apple slices were dried in a hybrid infrared-convective dryer. An experimental design was
applied to analyse drying kinetics due to the effect of infrared intensity and air temperature …

The effect of air temperature, air velocity, and sample shapes (circle and square with the
same cross‐sectional area) on kinetic drying of potato slices in a tunnel dryer was …

The effect of blanching and drying temperature (50, 60 and 70° C) on drying kinetics and
rehydration ratio of sweet potatoes was investigated. It was observed that both the drying …

The effect of different infrared power levels (104, 125, 146 and 167 W) on drying kinetics and
rehydration ratio of sweet potato slices was investigated. It was observed that the power …

Drying behavior of green apples in a laboratory dryer was examined. Prior to drying, the
apples were cut in 8 mm thick slices, which were then treated with citric acid solution and …
