Determination of Effective Moisture Diffusivity of Banana Using Thermogravimetric Analysis
Procedia Engineering, 2014 AbstractDrying has been extensively used as a food preservation procedure. The longer life attained by drying is however accompanied by huge energy consumption and deterioration of quality. Moisture diffusivity is an important factor that is considered essential to understand for design, analysis, and optimization of drying processes for food and other

Convective Baking Characteristics and Effective Moisture Diffusivities of Yellow Mealworms
ASEAN Journal of Chemical Engineering, 2020 Yellow mealworm is an alternative protein source studied by researchers to provide an alternative supply of protein to meet the growing demands of human consumption. In this research, convective baking of yellow mealworms at 80°C, 100°C, and 120°C was carried out to study the baking kinetics and product quality. Studies showed the typical falling trend
