Drying of pineapple slices in natura and pre-osmodehydrated in inverted sugar

This research describes the drying kinetics and compares the convective drying rates of in natura and osmodehydrated pineapple slices in inverted sugar. The effective moisture diffusivity during air drying was estimated using Fick's second law of diffusion. The suitability of a theoretical liqu...
