“…However, if process conditions are not controlled effectively, the drying can damage the material and energy consumption can reach unfeasible levels. In this regard, several authors (Benali, ; Defendi, Nicolin, Paraíso, & Jorge, ; Defendi, Paraíso, & Jorge, , ; Fregolente, Santos, & Jorge, ; Golmohammadi, Rajabi‐Hamane, & Hashemi, ; Itaya, Mori, & Hasatani, ; Meisami‐asl, Rafiee, Keyhani, & Tabatabaeefar, 2010; Shei & Chen, ; Vega‐Gálvez et al, ) have studied the drying process of agricultural products in order to determine the effects that control the process, adjust, and propose mathematical models of drying kinetics or optimize the process to minimize energy consumption or minimize the loss of material quality.…”
