Thermodynamic and nutritional properties and drying kinetics of pequi (Caryocar brasiliense Cambess) mesocarp

ABSTRACT The objectives of this study were to fit mathematical models to the experimental data of the drying of the pequi mesocarp, determine the effective diffusion coefficient, and to obtain activation energy and thermodynamic and nutritional properties in different drying conditions. The mesocarp...
