Abstract:This work aims to evaluate the kinetic profile of intermittent drying of wheat seeds using traditional models from the literature and the fractional calculus technique. Furthermore, it aims to verify the application of the intermittent drying process on the amount of antioxidant compounds, protein, and lipid content of the grain, in addition to energy consumption to obtain the desired final moisture content of the wheat. It was verified that the prediction of drying kinetics by Page and fraction order models w… Show more
