Gooseberry

“When comparing the experimental with predicted moisture values, the Midilli–Kucuk model was found to give the best fit quality (SSE < 0.001, χ2 < 0.001, R2 > 0.99), showing this equation to predict very accurately the drying time of Cape gooseberry under the operating conditions studied.”

Midilli–Kucuk model → fits → drying time of Cape gooseberry

“Effective moisture diffusivity of Cape gooseberry was in the range of 4.67–14.9 × 10−10 m2/s.”

Cape gooseberry → has → effective moisture diffusivity in the range of 4.67–14.9 × 10−10 m2/s

“Drying kinetics of Cape gooseberry was studied and modeled during processing at four temperatures (60, 70, 80 and 90C).”

Cape gooseberry → dried → at temperatures of 60, 70, 80, and 90°C

“A value of 38.78 kJ/mol was determined as activation energy.”

Cape gooseberry → has → activation energy of 38.78 kJ/mol

“Desorption isotherm was obtained at 40C giving a monolayer moisture content of 0.086 g water/g d.m.”

Cape gooseberry → has → monolayer moisture content of 0.086 g water/g d.m.
