Anamur muz halkalarının osmo-solar kuruma davranışının belirlenmesi için yanıt yüzey yönteminin kullanılması

Aims: In this study, banana rings were dried by a solar tray dryer together with osmotic dehydration called osmosolar dehydration. It was aimed to predict drying conditions Response Surface Method (RSM).Methods and Results: Banana firstly immersed in sucrose solution then dryer. Inputs as chosen concentrations, slice thickness, immerse time time. Also, outputs are water loss, shrinkage ratio yellow color change. The results clearly showed that both loss have increased due time.Conclusions: correlation coefficient (R2) values of the change for RSM model respectively found 0.979, 0.930 0.920.Significance Impact Study: Anamur Banana, which has high moisture content temperature, using combination drying. Pretreatment be effective
