Optimization of Solar Drying of Blanched and Unblanched Aerial Yam using Response Surface Methodology
This paper focuses on the application of response surface methodology RSM for the modelling and optimization of unblanched and blanched aerial yam drying using solar dryer. Mass in gram of the sample, slice thickness of the sample, and the airspeed of dryer are the independent variables considered, while the response of interest is the moisture […]
