Design, Development, and Optimization of a Hot Air–Assisted Continuous Infrared Dryer for Efficient Drying and Quality Retention of Broccoli
Broccoli is a highly nutritious vegetable, but it is susceptible to rapid deterioration due to its high moisture content. Although infrared‐assisted drying has shown promise, most studies have focused on batch systems with limited industrial applicability. Therefore, this study aimed to design, optimize, and evalua...
