Drying kinetics of whole and sliced turmeric rhizomes (Curcuma longa L.) in a solar conduction dryer
Drying of turmeric was carried out in a solar conduction dryer (SCD). Drying air temperature was achieved around 39–51 °C for an ambient temperature in the range of 25–28 °C. Moisture content from 78.65% (wb), was reduced to 6.36% (wb) and 5.50% (wb) for solid and sliced samples respectively in 12 h...
