Optimization of Specific Energy Consumption During Convective Drying of Pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo) Using the Taguchi Method and a Novel Predictive Model

Although food drying is a crucial strategy for long-term preservation, it is an energy-intensive process. This study aims to optimize the specific energy consumption (SEC) in the convective drying of pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo) slices using the Taguchi method and to develop a novel predictive expression for SEC based on k...
