Convective drying of squash (Cucurbita moschata): Influence of temperature and air velocity on effective moisture diffusivity, carotenoid content and total phenols

The influence of air temperature and air velocity on convection drying of pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata - UNAPAL Abanico 75) is studied using drying kinetics and changes in the content of total phenolic and carotene compounds. The response surface methodology was used to optimize the operating conditi...
