Effect of Slice Thickness and Mathematical Modeling on the Thin Layer Drying Kinetics of Ginger Slices through Convective Drying
In this study, thin-layer drying experiments were conducted on ginger (officinale Roscoe) slices at 30 mm and 40 mm thicknesses using a laboratory-scale convective hot-air dryer at temperatures of 50°C, 60°C, and 70°C with an air velocity of 1.5 m/s. Drying behavior was characterized by five mathematical models: Newton...
