Other claims from this paper (5)
- Method / resource Modified-Oswin and Modified-Chung-Pfost equations fitted banana desorption isotherms.
- Method / resource The equations agreed with water activity in commercial sun-dried banana packs.
- Method / resource Newton and Diffusion models fitted peeled-banana drying curves.
- Method / resource The Newton model was more effective, possibly because surface resistance develops during drying.
- Observation Moisture diffusivity and activation energy agreed with previous work.
