Modelling the Drying Characteristics and Kinetics of Hot Air-Drying of Unblanched Whole Red Pepper and Blanched Bitter Leaf Slices
Turkish Journal of Agriculture - Food Science and Technology, 5(1): 24-32, 2017 Turkish Journal of Agriculture - Food Science and Technology Available online, ISSN: 2148-127X www.agrifoodscience.com, Turkish Science and Technology Modelling the Drying Characteristics and Kinetics of Hot Air-Drying of Unblanched Whole Red Pepper and Blanched Bitter Leaf Slices Samuel Enahoro Agarry* Department of Chemical Engineering, Delta State University, Abraka, Oleh Campus, Nigeria A R T I C L E I N F O A B S T R A C T Research Article The objective of this study was to investigate the drying characteristics and kinetics of red Received 04 May 2016 pepper and bitter leaf under the influence of different drying temperatures. The drying Accepted 17 January 2017 experiments were carried out at dry bulb temperature of 35, 45, 55 and 75oC, respectively in an oven dryer. The results showed that as drying temperature increased, drying rate also increased and the drying time decreased. It was observed that un-sliced red pepper and sliced bitter leaf would dry within 2.5-12 h and 1.67-7 h, respectively at temperature Keywords: ranging from 75 to 35oC. The drying of red pepper and bitter leaf was both in the constant and falling rate period. Four semi-empirical mathematical drying models (Newton, Page, Red pepper Henderson and Pabis, and Logarithmic models) were fitted to the experimental drying Bitter leaf curves. The models were compared using the coefficient of determination (푅2) and the Oven drying root mean square error (RMSE). The Page model has shown a better fit to the Mathematical modelling experimental drying data of red pepper and bitter leaf, respectively as relatively compared Effective moisture diffusivity to other tested models.
