Optimization of mechanical convective drying parameters for fermented uf-18 cacao beans using response surface methodology

Mechanical drying is considered an efficient drying technique; however, continuous mechanical drying may compromise flavor and textural properties. This study aimed to create optimized drying parameters of fermented UF-18 cacao beans using a laboratory scale mechanical dryer and Response Surface Methodology (RSM). A ce...
