Influence of infrared intensity and air temperature on energy consumption and physical quality of dried apple using hybrid dryer

Apple slices were dried in a hybrid infrared-convective dryer. An experimental design was applied to analyse drying kinetics due to the effect of infrared intensity and air temperature. Apple slices that were either 2 mm thick were dried by the infrared intensity of 0.15, 0.2 and 0.3 W/cm2 with a co...
