Abstract

Plants with green leaves are seasonal and perishable due to high humidity. Proper maintenance can prevent the wastage of these products and increase their availability outside the production season. With controlled and proper drying, nutrients as well as aroma and color can be preserved in the dried leaves. The purpose of this research is to investigate the effect of drying Falcaria with an infrared dryer with the help of ultrasound pre-treatment on drying kinetics, color changes, reabsorption of moisture, and thermodynamic properties. Falcaria leaves were dried in an infrared dryer at three temperatures of 40, 45, and 50 C and three ultrasonic pre-treatment times of zero, 5, and 10 minutes until reaching a moisture content of 10% wet based. The results showed that increasing the temperature and duration of ultrasound pre-treatment increases the drying rate. The effective moisture diffusion coefficient for Falcaria in all samples has a direct relationship with the ultrasonic pre-treatment and temperature. Hence, the effective moisture diffusivity increased with the increase in temperature and ultrasonic pre-treatment. The activation energy during drying is reduced with the increased duration of ultrasound pre-treatment. The changes in color and brown index of Falcaria leaves increased with increasing temperature and decreasing duration of ultrasound pre-treatment, while the amount of chroma decreased. Enthalpy and entropy decreased with increasing drying temperature and ultrasound pre-treatment time, while Gibbs free energy enhanced.
