Modelling effective moisture diffusivity of pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata) slices under convective hot air drying condition

This study seeks to investigate the effects of temperature (50, 60, 70 and 80 °C) and material thickness (3, 5 and 7 mm), on the drying characteristics of pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata). Experimental data were used to estimate the effective moisture diffusivities and activation energy of pumpkin by us...
