| Özet |
| Drying is a commonly used postharvest operation for medicinal and aromatic plants. Their high initial moisture contents, requirement of moderate drying temperatures, and quick deterioration of their quality attributes make their drying processes energy intensive and time consuming. These properties may also cause the dried product to be of heterogeneous quality. A contact dryer that transferred energy to drying plants mainly by heat conduction was developed and tested by mixing or not mixing batches of 15 kg of chopped peppermint plants. The contact dryer had three main operational units: a drying table, a mobile mixing/aeration car, and a control panel. The contact dryer was operated with one of four drying programs. All programs affected the completion duration of drying, essential oil content, and dried product color differently. The shortest drying time (15 h) was obtained using the drying program of … |
