Abstract: | Drying of sliced corm of Moyu which represents a group of hard-to-dry herbaceous plants was carried out in a batch laboratory vibrated fluid bed to determine drying kinetics and identify operating parameters for required product quality. Results from laboratory studies were verified in a pilot-scale continuous VFB dryer. Field trials performed over the Moyu harvest season confirmed the resulls extrapolated from laboratory data. |
