An agitated fluidised bed dryer was employed to dry lixiviated roselle ( Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) calyxes. The effects of operational drying variables on the chemical attributes such as the retention of monomeric anthocyanins ( MA), phenolic compounds, polymeric colour, antioxidant activity and drying rate were analysed. Drying curves showed only decreasing falling rate period. To determine the kinetic parameters, the drying data were fitted to a Page's model, based on the moisture content ratio vs. the drying time; the k values ranged from 1.58 × 10−5 to 6.28 × 10−2 s−1. The different drying conditions showed significant differences in the chemical parameters. When processing wet feeds, as lixiviated roselle calyxes, the mechanical assisted fluidisation can be considered as an innovative concept. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
