<b>Convective drying of regular mint leaves: analysis based on fitting empirical correlations, response surface methodology and neural networks<b>

In the present work, an analysis of drying of peppermint (Menta x villosa H.) leaves has been made using empirical correlations, response surface models and a neural network model. The main goal was to apply different modeling approaches to predict moisture content and drying rates in the drying of...
