A Comparative Study of Oven, Spouted Bed, and Convective Tunnel Drying Methods of Mango for Oil Production
Abstract: Mango seeds, with a high moisture content exceeding 70% (wet basis) require effective drying methods to ensure their preservation and to enhance the quality of derivative products like mango seed oil. Proper drying is essential to inhibit enzymatic activity and microbial growth, which extends the shelf life of these seeds. This study investigates multiple drying techniques, including conventional oven drying, spouted bed drying, and convective tunnel drying, to determine their …
