Critical Analysis of the Use of Semiempirical Models on the Dehydration of Thin-Layer Foods Based on Two Study Cases

ABSTRACT: Moisture transport during food drying can be phenomenologically described by Fick’s second law and by the so-called anomalous diffusion model. However, in the literature, many studies have shown the extensive use of empirical/semiempirical models (EMs/SEMs) to adjust experimental data for...
