The capability of response surface methodology (RSM), artificial neural network (ANN), and
adaptive neuro‐fuzzy inference systems (ANFIS) in modeling and predicting moisture …

The drying of agricultural produce is an important food preservation measure. However, high
energy requirements for drying, limited access to energy sources, small-medium scale …

This paper presents the energy parameters of corn drying in a convective crop dryer
powered by exhaust gas waste heat. The empirical study was applied for drying 1,500 g …

Understanding the drying kinetics within a food dryer is an important step towards its
improvement. This study investigates the drying kinetics of potato slices in a recently …

In this study, drying of grated potato in a hot air‐assisted radio frequency system (HA‐RF)
and the associated effects on the final potato flour quality were studied. The drying behavior …

The optimization of processing parameters for hot air drying of tomato slices using the
Taguchi technique was investigated. The tomato samples were water blanched, ascorbic …

This study investigated the thermal efficiency and thin-layer drying characteristics of yam
tuber in a crop dryer driven by the waste heat of exhaust gases. Experiments were …

The dehydration parameters (temperature, thickness, and mass load) statistically
significantly (p< 0.05) affect the thin-layer convective dehydration of potato slices. The slices …

The determination of optimum process parameters for moisture content reduction in water
yam drying using a hot air dryer was the aim of this work. Gravimetric method was used to …

Evaluation of the energy consumption during the thin-layer drying of yam slices in an
exhaust gas waste heat recovery dryer is presented. The study took cognizance of some …
