The aim of this research was to model dry kinetics of potatoes (Solanum gonyocalix), variety Amarilla Tumbay from Peru, using a tunnel dryer. Potatoes slices of 0.5 cm thickness were used in a drying experiment at different temperatures (60, 70 and 80 °C) and air speed (4.9, 6.7 and 8.3 m/s). The equipment used allowed recording of the sample gross mass at real time. A factorial design in CRD with two repetitions was used. To determine significant differences between levels the LSD method was used. The results showed drying speeds; a very short constant and a falling rate period. For the marked decreasing speed, which could be modeled by Fick´s law of diffusion, the used equations were adequate for a proper description of the process. Temperature dependence of moisture diffusion followed Arrhenius equation type (R 2 = 0.995): moisture diffusion and activation energy were Do = 0.81x10 -9 m 2 /s and Ea = 4.81 kJ/mol respectively.Keywords: Activation energy; Fick´s law of diffusion; potatoes moisture diffusivity; temperature affect drying; tunnel dryer; peruvian potatoes.

Las papas con un espesor de 0,5 cm en formas rectangulares fueron usadas en los experimentos de secado con diferentes temperaturas (60, 70 y 80 ºC) y velocidad de aire (4,9, 6,7 y 8,3 m/s). El equipo usado durante el experimento permitió registrar el peso de la masa de la muestra en tiempo real. Se aplicó un arreglo factorial en un DCA con dos repeticiones. Se aplicó el método DMS para determinar diferencias significativas entre los niveles. Los resultados muestran velocidades de secado; un periodo muy corto constante y otro decreciente. El periodo decreciente, muy marcado, se ajusta a la ley difusional de Fick, demostrando que las ecuaciones empleadas fueron adecuadas para la propia descripción del proceso. La temperatura dependiente de la difusividad de la humedad ha sido considerada del tipo Arrhenius (R 2 = 0,995), cuyas difusividad de la humedad y la energía de activación fueron: Do = 0,81x10 -9 m 2 /s y Ea = 4,81 kJ/mol respectivamente.Palabras clave: Difusividad de la humedad de papas; energía de activación; ley difusional de Fick; papa peruana; secador de bandejas; temperatura afecta el secado.

The leaves of Agave tequilana Weber variety Blue represent a viable, inexpensive, and renewable source of lignocellulosic biomass and fructans for the production of second generation biofuels. The objective was to study the effect of drying temperature on the release of reducing sugars for the agave leaves. It was found that with pretreatment‐drying at 100°C for 30.5 ± 1.0 min had a maximum of the release of reducing sugars with a 66% increment compared to 60°C. An aqueous extract obtained from the powder of the leaves after drying did not show the presence of furfural and hydroxymethylfurfural compounds. Phenolic compounds were detected in order of 120.8 ± 1.0 mg L−1 below 1 g L−1 reported to cause inhibition of the alcoholic fermentation. In addition the drying of the leaves also can be used as preservation of agave leaf for biomass storing. The results show that pretreatment‐drying allow increase the release of reducing sugars, avoids thermal degradation and does not produce significant concentrations of fermentation inhibitors. Practical Applications The research in industrial waste materials has received special attention worldwide because it is potential for production of biofuels. This study propose a simple method of drying that acts as a thermal pretreatment of Agave tequilana Weber variety Blue leaves that increases the release of reducing sugars, avoids thermal degradation, not produce significant concentrations of fermentation inhibitors for ethanol production and can be used as a preservation method for storing biomass of the agave leaves. The results would be useful not only in the energy field but also in the alimentary and pharmaceutical industry. Fructans and phenolic compounds found in the agave are used as functional ingredients in the food industry and also bioactive compounds that by themselves promotes future research for the Agave tequilana.
