摘要
This study examined the convective drying of red cabbage at temperatures ranging from 50 to 90 degrees C. Mathematical modeling was used to describe isotherms, drying kinetics and rehydration process. The effects of drying conditions on energy consumption and microstructure were also evaluated. The Halsey model had the best fit to the isotherm data and the equilibrium moisture was determined to be 0.0672, 0.0490, 0 0.0379, 0.0324 and 0.0279 g water/g d.m. at 50, 60, 70, 80 and 90 degrees C, respectively. Drying kinetics were described most accurately by the Midilli and Ku & ccedil;uk model. Also, the diffusion coefficient values increased with drying temperature. Lower energy consumption was found for drying at 90 degrees C and the rehydration process was best described by the Weibull model. Samples dehydrated at 90 degrees C showed high water holding capacity and better maintenance of microstructure. These results could be used to foster a sustainable drying process for red cabbage.
