“…Heat penetrates into the product and moisture is removed by evaporating into an unsaturated gas phase. Owing to the complexity of the process, no generalized theory currently exists to explain the mechanisms of internal moisture movement [3] [4] [5]. Since the actual process of drying involves simultaneous transfer of both heat and mass; the heat is transferred into the bulk material and mass transferred from the centre of porous solid to the outer layer and consequently into the environment.…”

This study is an extension of the previous work done with ARS-680 Environmental Chamber. Drying is a complex operation that demands much energy and time. Drying is essentially important for preservation of ginger rhizome. Drying of ginger was modeled, and then the effective diffusion coefficient and activation energy were determined. For this purpose, the experiments were done at six levels of varied temperatures: 10˚C, 20˚C, 30˚C, 40˚C, 50˚C and 60˚C. The values of effective diffusion coefficients obtained in this work for the variously treated ginger rhizomes closely agreed with the average effective diffusion coefficients of other notable authors who determined the drying kinetics and convective heat transfer coefficients of ginger slices.
