Effective Moisture Diffusivity of Fresh Japanese Noodle (udon) as a Function of Temperature [PDF]
Bioscience, Biotechnology and Biochemistry, 1999 The effect of moisture content and temperature on the effective moisture diffusivity was investigated to identify the optimal drying condition for Japanese noodle (udon) by using a diffusion model. The drying of fresh udon with different moisture contents was carried out under constant conditions of relative humidity and airflow at 20°C, 30°C and 40°C.
