ABSTRACT ‘Okara’ is the insoluble part obtained after the aqueous extraction of soybeans, generated in large quantities as a by-product of the ‘tofu’ industry or soybean water-soluble extract. This work aimed to study ‘okara’ convective drying kinetics, determine the effective diffusion coefficient, and obtain activation energy and thermodynamic properties under different drying conditions. The by-product ‘okara’ was obtained from the processing of BRS 257 soybean water-soluble extract, homogenized and dried in a forced-air oven at temperatures of 40, 50, 60 and 70 °C until constant weight. Among the analysed models, Wang & Singh was selected to represent the drying phenomenon. Effective diffusion coefficient increased with the temperature rise, and... |
