Description
Summary:In this project, the evaluation of the operating conditions of a dehydrator equipment with double rollers to obtain dehydrated berries. In the first instance, an overview of the process of dehydration of fruit, as well as the generalities and types of dehydrators of rollers used in the food industry. The drying curves of this process were made to show the periods drying; an experimental design was also proposed to determine what conditions allow to obtain a percentage of humidity fixed in a range between 10 to 12% humidity and an Aw with values lower than 0.62%. The mass balance of the process carried out in the drying tests and Finally, the production costs of dehydrated berries were calculated
