Study on Thin Layer Drying of Rosa laevigata Michx

The drying process of traditional Chinese medicine Rosa laevigata Michx was investigated in a laboratory scale dryer. Drying experiments were conducted at five temperatures of 40 ̊C, 50 ̊C, 60 ̊C, 70 ̊C and 80 ̊C. The experimental data were fitted to ten different thin layer drying models to select a suitable model for describing the drying process of Rosa laevigata Michx fruits. The results showed ...
