Mathematical models to describe the volumetric shrinkage rate of red beans during drying Modelos matemáticos para descrever a taxa de contração volumétrica de feijão-vermelho durante a secagem

The present study aimed to determine the volumetric shrinkage rate of bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) seeds during air-drying under different conditions of air, temperature and relative humidity, and to adjust several mathematical models to the empiric values observed, and select the one that best repr...
