| Groundnut pods contain a higher amount of moisture at the time of harvesting, which causes fungal infestation and drying play an important role to achieve a safe moisture content. The objective of the present study was to examine the effect of drying temperature on the drying behavior and acceptability of models of drying to prophesy the drying pattern of the groundnut pods. Forced air circulation hybrid convective-cum solar dryer and sun drying method was used to dry the groundnut pods from initial moisture of 124.97±1.34% (dry basis) to a moisture content of 8.75±0.35% (dry basis). Five mathematical models were used to forecast the drying kinetics and furthermore, moisture diffusivity was determined. The different physico-chemical parameters viz.,... |
