A preliminary study: kinetic model of drying process of pumpkins (Cucurbita moschata) in a convective hot air dryer
Drying of pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata) was investigated experimentally using a hot air convective dryer. 30 samples of pumpkin with thickness of 2 mm and 4 mm were subjected to 11 hours drying at temperatures 50 °C, 60 °C and 70 °C respectively. The drying data were fitted to the Moisture Ratio (MR)...
