Evaluation of a suitable thin layer model for drying of pumpkin under forced air convection

The thin layer drying kinetics of pumpkin slices (Cucurbita moschata) were experimentally investigated in a convective hot air dryer. In order to select the appropriate model for predicting the drying kinetics of pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata), twelve thin layer semi theoretical, theoretical and empir...
