Influence of Sulphite on the Drying Kinetics of Pumpkin Fruit Slices

Abstract: 80°C at an air velocity of 1.53 m/s. Drying was carried out to constant moisture. Samples were screened using descriptive sensory evaluation to obtain samples P1, 4 and P2, 5 each dried at 75°C as the best samples for 4 mm and 5 mm respectively. Drying curves, moisture diffusitivity, activation energy, drying time and rehydration capacity were determined. The drying curves obtained showed results for a short constant rate followed by a falling rate period. The effective moisture diffusivity varied from 6.235×1… Show more
