Microwave assisted fluidized bed drying of bitter gourd: Modelling and optimization of process conditions based on bioactive components
Bitter gourds were dried under varied drying conditions in a microwave assisted fluidized bed dryer, and the process was optimized using response surface methodology. Microwave power, temperature and air velocity were used as process variables for drying and the process parameters were varied betwee...
