Özet

Drying is a highly significant process because it reduces water content, prolongs shelf life, and facilitates the transportation of fruits and vegetables. However, the absence of a mathematical evaluation of drying kinetics can lead to various issues, ranging from increased production costs to diminished product quality. Estimating parameters in thin-layer drying kinetic models through experimental data and identifying the model or models that best fit the experimental data typically involves time-consuming and experience-demanding processes. There is a pressing need for straightforward and user-friendly optimization software capable of calibrating these models. To address this need, a user-interactive graphical user interface (PEDKiM) was developed to estimate the kinetic parameters of nine thin-layer drying models. This study represents an innovative approach to the thin-layer drying process of fruits and vegetables.
