“…There is only the presence of the falling drying rate period (phase 2). This result is compatible with the drying literature [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. The results indicated that diffusion is the most likely physical mechanism governing moisture movement in the prickly pear peel.…”

“…Variation of daily solar radiation vs time during a typical summer day in Marrakech in the ranges of 28 to 40 v C of drying air temperature and 28 to 34% of relative humidity. air temperature, as noted in other studies on various food products [12,[14][15][16]18]. Thus, a higher drying air temperature produced a higher drying rate and consequently the drying time decreased.…”

“…Several authors [14,15,17,18], based on the Van Meel [19] transformation, have used simply the initial moisture content (M 0 ) with the equilibrium moisture content (M e ) and initial drying rate (ÀdM/dt) 0 to normalize the moisture ratio and the dimensionless drying rate as follows:…”

“…Adicionalmente, se construyeron los gráficos de velocidad de secado en función del tiempo y velocidad de secado en función de X, con 20 mediciones espaciadas regularmente a lo largo de todo el periodo experimental (Belghit et al 2000), las que fueron suficientes para evidenciar las tendencias. La velocidad de secado en kg/h·m 2 (v) se calculó empleando la función:…”

“…Caractérisation microbiologique des échantillons de sorgho : Les analyses microbiologiques ont été réalisées suivant la méthode décrite par Guiraud et Galzy (1980 (Belghit et al, 2000 ;Benhamou et al, 2008 ;Kouhila, 2001). Le séchage durant la phase à allure décroissante est régi par la diffusion d'eau dans le solide (Karel, 1997 ;Benhamou et al, 2008).…”

Methodology and results: Sorghum samples of the variety "tokobèssèmi" were dried under shelter and outdoors for (30) days in five (05) villages in the Department of Alibori. Thermical parameters such as the drying kinetics, the influence of relative humidity and air temperature drying on sorghum water content were determined. Microbiological analysis of samples of dried sorghum is paid to the determination of the total flora, yeast and mold, total coliform, fecal coliform and / or thermo tolerant and Staphylococcus aureus. The results showed that the increase temperature and a relative decrease in moisture from the drying air possible to obtain short drying times and low water contents of the product. The total flora of the sorghum samples is remarkable as well as total and faecal coliforms, yeasts and molds are also present. Microorganism's quality indicators such as Staphylococcus aureus were absent. Rates vary between faecal microbes 300-43 000 outdoor and 84-37000 indoors. The small total coliforms in Kandi are absent in the samples of other outdoor departments. They are almost absent under cover. Outdoor yeast number varies between 23 (Gogounou) and 92 (Malanville) while the mold of whatever density remains low at 41 to Gogounou. Under shelter these microbes are practically not observed. Conclusion and application of findings:Drying under a shelter in a farming environment apparently has an acceptable sanitary character for human food in view of the quality criteria as defined by the indicator microorganism.
