The objectives of this study were to determine a suitable thin layer drying model to describe the drying kinetics of Guazuma ulmifolia leaves and determine the mass transfer parameters of Guazuma ulmifolia leaves. The drying of Guazuma ulmifolia leaves was conducted in a laboratory scale dryer with various temperature (40oC, 50oC, and 60oC) and relative humidity (30%, 40%, 50% and 60%). Five drying models, namely, Newton, Henderson and Pabis, Page, Midilli-Kucuk, and Verma et al. were fitted to the drying data. The drying curve of guazuma leaves did not show a constant drying period during the drying period. The models suitability were compared base on coefficient of determination (R2), root square mean errors (RSME), and reduced mean square of deviation (X2). It was found that, among the models evaluated, the Midilli and Kucuk model is the best to describe the drying kinetics of Guazuma ulmifolia leaves. The effective moisture diffusivity was found to be in the range of 10-13 – 10-12 m2/s and the convective mass transfer coefficient was in the range of 10-9 – 10-10 m/s. The activation energy value was found to be 89.21 kJ/mol.

In this study, the drying kinetics of apple (control, blanching and blanching in 1% potassium meta bisulphate) in a tunnel dryer was studied at 50, 60, and 70°C air temperatures. The drying of apple slices occurred in a falling rate period. It was found that treated apple slices dried faster. Six thin layer-drying models were fitted to the experimental moisture ratio. Among the mathematical models evaluated, the logarithmic model satisfactorily described the drying behaviour of apple slices with high r2 values. The effective moisture diffusivity (Deff) of apple slices increased as the drying air temperature increased. The Deff values were higher for the treated samples than for the control.

Fruit and vegetable dehydration has been extensively studied for the improvement of food preservation. Effects of drying temperature on the drying kinetics of thyme were investigated and a suitable drying model was obtained to describe the drying process. Drying behaviour of thyme leaves at temperatures of 50, 60, 70 and 80°C was determined by using a conventional drying oven, and moisture ratio and drying rates were calculated. Four different thin layer drying models, namely Lewis, Henderson and Pabis, Page, and logarithmic models, were used to fit the experimental moisture ratio data. Three statistical parameters: coefficient of determination (R<sup>2</sup>), chi-square (χ<sup>2</sup>) and root mean square error (RMSE) were used to compare the goodness of fit of the drying models. Logarithmic model and Page model give the best description of the drying process kinetics of thyme leaves by comparing the experimental values and predicted values.

As an alternative to fish and beef, blue mussels (Mytilus edulis) can be consumed due to their high protein content. In this study, the drying kinetics and quality changes (cook loss, area shrinkage and colour change) in whole blue mussels were investigated with several infrared power levels between 88?146 W. Various thin-layer drying models were applied to the blue mussel and the Midilli et al., model best fits the experimental data (R2: 0.999150?0.999750, ?2: 0.000104?0.000030, RMSE: 0.008309?0.004797). The effective moisture diffusivity was determined to be between 4.24?10-9 and 1.10?10-8 m2/s. The activation energy was found to be 20.85 kW/kg. The cook loss and area shrinkage increased with increasing power level and drying time. Most cook loss (30%) and area shrinkage (30%) were obtained between 15-23 min and 8-20 min of drying time, respectively. The colour change was slightly affected by the change in infrared power level.

 This study aims to investigate the drying characteristics of cassava, yam, and potato slices using a laboratory scale batch Refractance Window™ (RW) dryer. The experimental dryer was constructed by modifying a laboratory water bath. The bath was covered with a transparent Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic film held in-place with angled edges. The cassava, yam, and potato slices were dried on the Refractance WindowTM dryer, and the variation of the moisture content of the slices during the drying process was measured. The water temperature beneath the plastic film was maintained at 60oC. The dehydration data were fitted to thin-layer drying models. Regression analysis suggested that the Haghi and Ghanadzadeh model best describes the dehydration behaviour for the 3 mm thick slices for the cassava, yam, and potato tubers. The coefficient of determination (R2) values of 0.999, 0.998, and 0.998 for the cassava, yam, and potato slices respectively were reported in all the models studied. The drying curves, the drying rate curves, and the Krischer curves, from the experimental drying data, was plotted. Observations indicate that the cassava, yams, and potatoes slices dried to below 0.11 g water/g-solid moisture content in about 150 min. This study was performed to facilitate the understanding of the design, modelling, and operations of a continuously operating RW dryer. Keywords: Refractance Window Drying, Thin Layer Drying Models, Yams, Cassava, Potatoes.

Performance of a tractor mounted solar-biomass hybrid dryer which utilise combined energy of solar and biomass was investigated. Drying behaviour of maize grains in the dryer was also investigated using 10 thin-layer mathematical models. The models were compared based on coefficient of determination (R<sup>2</sup>) and root mean square error (RMSE) values between experimental and predicted moisture ratios. Moisture content (MC) of grains in the dryer reduced from 19 ± 0.86% to 13 ± 0.4% (w.b.) in 5 h, compared to grains dried in open-sun which reached same MC in 15 hours. This resulted in average drying rate of 1.2 %·h<sup>–1</sup> compared to 0.4 %·h<sup>–1</sup> for grains dried in the open-sun leading to net savings in drying time of 67%. Overall mean temperature, 41.93 ± 2.7 °C in the dryer was 15.3 °C higher than the ambient temperature. Midilli Kucuk model was best to describe the thin-layer drying kinetics of maize in the dryer. It showed a good fit between the predicted and experimental data. The effective moisture diffusivity of grains dried in the dryer ranged between 1.45 × 10<sup>–11</sup> m<sup>2</sup>·s<sup>–1</sup> – 3.10 × 10<sup>–11</sup> m<sup>2</sup>·s<sup>–1</sup>. An activation energy of 96.83 kJ·mol<sup>–1</sup> was determined based on the Arrhenius-type equation.

Thin Layer Drying

Fresh-water prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) once harvested, tends to deteriorate rapidly because of the high systemic moisture it constituent which has lead to post-harvest losses, drying as a method of preservation widely used for high moisture bio-products reduces moisture probably to bone-dry level and thereby increased the shelf-life of the fresh-water prawn. Therefore, Estimating the Drying Kinetics and Effective Moisture Diffusivity of Fresh Water Prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) was investigated using a laboratory convective oven dryer and was arranged in a thin layer. 50-100°C temperatures were applied, varying on multiple of 10°C. It was observed that the drying rate increased with increasing drying temperatures. Drying data obtained were fitted into four empirical thin-layer drying models, and the best model was investigated after undergoing statistical parameters (of coefficient of determination, R2; root mean square error, RMSE and reduced chi-square, χ2). The ANN and Henderson model was found to perform satisfactorily in describing the drying behaviour of the Fresh-water prawn samples at the chosen temperature levels. The initial moisture content of all the samples was 54% wb. The final effective moisture diffusivity of the samples during the drying experiments ranges from 1.26 x 10-7m2/s - 7.06 x 10-7m2/s, and the temperature related activation energy of diffusion was found to be 12.82-kJ/mol. Drying occurred mainly in the falling rate period, and the characterizing drying curves were exponential with increase in drying temperatures.

This paper presents the drying kinetics of ginger rhizome under blanched and nonblanched conditions using hybrid solar dryer and mechanical tray dryer at three temperature levels. The drying rate increases with the increase in drying air temperature and blanching also increases the drying rate. The drying rate depends on shape and size of the ginger rhizomes. The highest drying rate was found for sliced samples of ginger rhizome followed by splitted and whole root samples. Five thin layer drying models were fitted to the experimental data of blanched and sliced ginger rhizomes. The Page equation was found to be the best to predict the moisture content of sliced ginger rhizome in thin layer. The agreement between the predicted and experimental results was excellent. Colour of ginger rhizomes was slightly changed after drying. Lightness of ginger rhizomes decreased with an increase in drying temperature for all samples except sliced and blanched samples. For drying of ginger rhizome, it should be sliced and blanched and dried below 70°C for better quality dried products. Bangladesh J. Agril.
