RESUMOO processo de secagem visa a redução do teor de água fazendo com que a atividade da água dos produtos in natura diminua drasticamente, aumentando o tempo de conservação e a vida útil do produto e facilitando seu transporte, manuseio e armazenamento. Através do uso de um secador convectivo vertical de bandejas, determinaram-se as curvas de secagem da pêra bartlett (Pyrus sp.) nas temperaturas de 50, 60 e 70°C e velocidades do ar de 0,5, 1,0 e 1,5m/s, obtendo-se nove curvas de secagem. Através destas curvas o estudo da secagem foi conduzido avaliando as difusividades efetivas e as energias de ativação.Palavras-chave: secador convectivo; difusividade efetiva; energia de ativação. SUMMARY DRYING STUDIES OF SLICED PEAR BARTLETT (Pyrus sp.).The drying process aims for the reduction of the in natura products water activity, increasing the shelf life and facilitating the transport, maintenance and storage. Using a convective vertical tray drier, we obtained the drying curves of pear (nine curves) at three different temperatures (50, 60 and 70°C) and three different air velocities (0.5, 1.0 and 1.5m/s). With these results, it was possible to study the drying process determining the effective diffusivities and activation energies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
