Drying Kinetics, Effective Moisture Diffusivity, and Thermodynamic Analysis of Banana Slices Under Potassium Metabisulfite (KMS) Pretreatment
The present study investigates the effect of drying temperature and potassium metabisulfite (KMS) pretreatment on the drying kinetics, effective moisture diffusivity, activation energy, thermodynamic properties, and thin-layer drying-model performance of green banana slices. Banana slices (4 ± 0.5 mm thickness) were su...
