Convective drying of potato slices at low temperatures in full air recirculation dryer

Abstract

In modern industrial production, it can be said with certainty that there is no such a product whose main raw material in one of its stages did not go through a drying process [12, 13]. Research and analysis of the drying process is essential for its further optimization and improvement. A clear physical and mathematical description of the process of drying biological material is still pretty much remained unresolved despite the huge number of applied research. Most modeling methods based on the concept of the diffusion of moisture through the material, describe a change in the average moisture content of the material over time [5].
