“…Thin-layer drying models have been used for analysis of drying of various agricultural and marine products, such as fish (Kilic, 2009), sea cucumber (Duan et al, 2010), spirulina (Dissa et al, 2010), apple (Doymaz, 2010), banana (Smitabhindu et al, 2008), berberis (Aghbashlo et al, 2008), blueberry (Vega-Galvez et al, 2009), carrot (Berruti et al, 2009), cassava (Ghaba et al, 2007), cocoa (Hii et al, 2009), pear (Guine et al, 2007), mango (Dissa et al, 2011), apricots, fig, grape andplum (Togrul andPehlivan, 2004), tomatoes (Marfil et al, 2008), sweet cherry (Doymaz and Osman, 2011), chili (Artnaseaw et al, 2010) and red beet (Kaleta and Krzysztof, 2010). Heat pump drying was proposed to enhance the drying kinetic of salak fruit and retain a high concentration of total phenolic compounds in the fruit (Ong and Law, 2011).…”
