This paper presents a comprehensive review of thin-layer drying-curve models available in
the literature and their comparisons for single-layer drying applications from 2003 to 2013. In …

Moisture content is a critical variable for the harvesting, processing, storing and marketing of
cereal grains, oilseeds and legumes. Efficient and accurate determination of grain moisture …

This study was carried to determine the influence of hot air drying process and combined
methods on physicochemical properties of pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata) samples. The …

In this study, changes in various states of water in apple cubes were assessed using low-
field nuclear magnetic resonance (LF-NMR) during microwave vacuum drying. Apple cubes …

Cadmium (Cd), a toxic heavy metal, is harmful to plants and human health. Glutathione
(GSH) could alleviate Cd toxicity of plant species, whereas its mechanism responsible for …

A newly designed solar bubble dryer was used to study the drying behavior of freshly
harvested maize grain. The performance of the dryer was tested at sample loads of 10.87 …

In this work, apples of cv. Golden Delicious were cut into slices that were 5 and 7 mm thick
and then vacuum dried at 50, 60 and 70° C and pressure of 0.02 bar. The thin layer model …

This paper describes a 3-stage simulation method to i/extract from experimental results the
best validated empirical models of drying kinetics, ii/establish the correlations between the …

The literature revealed a gap in rough rice's drying kinetic parameters data under layer
drying and isothermal conditions. Therefore the goal of the present study was to explore the …

Pineapple is a widely cultivated, consumed, and processed fruit by the industry. However,
only 22.5% of the whole fruit is used, which constitutes economic waste and environmental …
