| ABSTRACT This study aimed to dry ‘bacaba’ (Oenocarpus bacaba Mart.) pulp under different thermal conditions, fit different mathematical models to the dehydration curves, and calculate the diffusion coefficients, activation energy and thermodynamic properties of the process. ‘Bacaba’ fruits were meshed to obtain the pulp, which was dried at temperatures of 40, 50 and 60 °C and with thickness of 1.0 cm. Increase in drying temperature reduced the dehydration times, as well as the equilibrium moisture contents, and drying rates of 0.65, 1.04 and 1.25 kg kg min-1 were recorded at the beginning of the process for temperatures of 40, 50 and 60 °C, respectively. The Midilli’s equation was selected as the most appropriate to predict the drying phenomenon, showing... |

| Abstract: Optimization of convective drying process of Persian shallot was investigated using dependent variables of effective moisture diffusivity (Deff), specific energy consumption (SEC), shrinkage and color changes. The central composite design (CCD) was selected for design and optimization of the process. The second-order polynomial models with transformed responses were developed from experimental data to generate three dimensional response surfaces and contour plots. Experiments were performed at air temperatures of 40°C, 55°C and 70°C, air velocities of 0.5, 1.5 and 2.5 m/s and slice thicknesses of 2, 4, and 6 mm in triplicate. Based on response surface and desirability functions, the optimum conditions for Persian shallot drying were: air... |
