Abstract

This article targets the optimal process–product characteristics of periodic airflow assisted tray dried Kaskal (Musa splendida) and Posola (Musa balbisiana Colla pseudo-stem). Both trial and error and statistical design approaches have been considered to compare and contrast optimal process parametric and response variable characteristics of the mentioned dried vegetable samples. Based on the carried investigations, optimal process and response variable data were achieved for the statistical design-based approach. Drying kinetics studies affirmed moisture diffusivities to vary from 1.56 × 10–11–7.59 × 10–11 m2 s−1 and 1.79 × 10–11–7.35 × 10–11 m2 s−1 for Kaskal and Posola, respectively. For the Kaskal vegetable system, the RSM-based optimal tray drying process and response variables correspond to 58.66 °C, 400.31 min, 5.09%, 80.73 mg (100 g)−1 and 72.34% for drying temperature, drying time, moisture content, vitamin C content and antioxidant activity for Kaskal. Corresponding values for the tray dried Posola refer to 57.59 °C, 389.42 min., 2.84%, 53.38 mg (100 g)−1 and 25.72%.
