The study was aimed at drying of pseudostem by different drying methods viz sun drying, solar polyhouse drying and cabinet drying at 50, 60 and 70°C. The changes in moisture content during drying were noted by recording the weight loss of the samples at every intermittent interval. The experimental data were fit to thin layer mathematical models and the goodness of fit was evaluated. Logarithmic model was found to give the best fit in terms of high coefficient of determination (R2) and low chi-square value. The effect of drying on per cent shrinkage, colour and nutritional quality such as crude fibre and total ash was estimated. Time and temperature had a reasonable impact on the shrinkage value of the dried samples (P Not Available |
