The effects of pretreatment solution (dipping in boiling water, salty boiling water, ethil oleat) were studied on drying kinetic of sour cherry. The thin-layer drying of sour cherries were carried out at three air temperatures of 50, 60 and 70°C and airflow velocity of 1 m/s. The experimental data were fitted to several thin-layer drying models such as Newton, Henderson and Pabis, Page, Logarit...

decreasing irrigation via partial root zoon drying (prd) save water and decreased production expenses. for comparing common irrigation and prd on tomato cv. falcato an experiment was designed in massey university of new zealand. treatments were control (irrigation in a field capacity in each irrigation to whole root zoon) and prd (irrigation in a half of field capacity in each irrigation to one...

in this study, mathematical modeling of hot air-drying of thin-layer papaya (carica papaya l.) slices with 5±1 mm thickness pretreated in osmotic solution (50% sucrose) was investigated. thin-layer drying was conducted under three different drying temperatures of 40, 50 and 60 °c at a constant air velocity of 0.9±0.1 m/s and absolute humidity of 0.6 ± 0.02 g of water/kg of dry air. it was found...

in this research the thin layer drying behavior of apricot (cv. ghavami and nasiry) at temperatures of drying air of 40, 50, 60 and 70 ºc and at drying air velocity of 2 ms-1 was studied. in order to select the best drying curve equation, 9 different thin layer drying models were fitted to the experimental data and were compared according to their coefficient of determination (r2), reduced chi-...

In this data article, laboratory experimental investigation results on drying kinetic properties: the drying temperature (T), drying air velocity (V) and dewatering time (Te), each of the factors has five levels, and the experiment was replicated three times and the output: drying rate and drying time obtained, were observed. The experiment was conducted at National Centre for Agricultural Mech...
