Modeling of the shrinkage kinetics of coffee berries during drying = Modelagem da cinética de contração de frutos de café durante a secagem

The effects of drying conditions on the shrinkage of Coffea arabica L., cultivar Catuai Vermelho, were studied. An exponential model derived from the kinetic model was used to describe the shrinkage kinetics. In addition, an equation was proposed to describe the relationship between the superficial...
