Drying kinetics of bananas by natural convection: Influence of temperature, shape, blanching and cultivar Cinética de secagem de bananas por convecção natural: Influência da temperatura, formato, branqueamento e cultivar

The influence of variables as temperature, solid shape, temperature, branching and cultivar on drying of bananas were studied. Bananas from cv. Prata and D'água, on disk and cylindrical shape, blanched or not, were dehydrated in a tray dryer in natural convection at 40 and 70ºC. Drying behavior...
