Mathematical models of drying are used for the purpose of understanding the drying process in order to determine important parameters for design and operation of the dryer. The jackfruit is a fruit with high consumption in the Northeast and perishability. It is necessary to apply techniques to improve their conservation for longer in order to diffuse it by regions with low consumption. This stu...

the objective of this research was to study the drying characteristics of powderedagricultural residues. drying experiments of wheat straw (triticum aestivum) wereconducted at four temperatures of 50, 60, 70, and 80°c by a thermogravimetric analyzer.drying temperature had a significant effect on the moisture change and drying time.there was no constant drying rate period, but a short rising rat...

Drying kinetics of sour cheery is investigated in solar dryer with forced convection and under open Sun with natural convection. Drying data were fitted to different mathematical models, whose performance was investigated by comparing coefficient (R), reduced chi-square (Ç) and root mean square error (RMSE) between the observed and predicted moisture ratios. Among these models, drying model dev...

Dill (Anethum graveolens L.) and parsley (Petroselinum crispum Mill.) were dried by using sun and oven (50oC) drying methods. Oven drying decreased the drying time approximately 50% when compared to the sun drying method for both herbs. K, Ca, P, Mg and Na were the most abundant elements in dill and parsley samples. Oven-dried samples had higher mineral values than that of the su...
