Abstract The primary objective of this investigation, the influence of chemical, combined chemical, hybrid pre-treated samples and the addition of inert material into turkey berry samples through the fluidized bed dryer was studied at processing air temperature of 70 0C and an inlet air flow of 4.2 m/s, as well as compared to sun drying. Results showed that the Hybrid-II treatments as well as the addition energy carrier method reduced drying time around by 12 times and 10 times compared to open sun-dried samples. The Hybrid-II pre-treatment method resulted in the quickest drying procedure, and it was completed in 330 minutes. In addition, the lowest shrinkage of around 39%, tolerable color change, and the maximum retention of vitamin-C were achieved compared to both OSD and un-treated samples. The Midilli and coauthors (2002) [1] model was fitted, the most preferable model for predicting the drying characteristics of Turkey berry. |
