Hot air drying kinetics of thin layers of prickly pear fruit paste
Hot air drying of thin layers of a paste from prickly pear fruit (without seeds) to obtain a chewy product was studied. The effect of air temperature (50 to 80°C) and sample thickness (4, 6, and 8 mm) on drying kinetics was analyzed. Drying curves were obtained, and drying data were fitted to Lewis,...
