“…Hot air drying is the most commonly used technique due to its high drying efficiency. However, heat treatment should also be performed at mild temperatures for the minimum time necessary (El Broudi et al, 2022). Drying kinetics and mathematical models for the drying process of some vegetables and fruits have been studied (Krokida et al, 2003;Thuy et al, 2022;Loan and Tai, 2023), allowing simulation and process optimization as well as sizing and determining the commercial application of the drying system.…”
