| Popis: | The drying mechanism of the myristicin enriched nutmeg mace has been optimized in a microwave assisted fluidization bed dryer (MWFBD) through multiple linear regression (MLR) and artificial neural network (ANN) modeling. The developed drying technique overcomes the non-uniformity heating problems in microwave heating and prolonged drying in fluidized bed drying. During the novel method of drying selected input variables were drying air temperature (DT) (40–50 °C) and microwave power (MP) (480–800 W) and output variables involving colour, oil yield, and myristicin quantity have been investigated by a continuous air velocity of 5.1 m/s. Six mathematical models about one to four conditions have fitted with an experimental design. Suitable enforcement of such models was evaluated through statistical measures. The coefficient of determination (R2) of MLR varied from 0.89 to 0.98, and the sum of squared error (SSE) varied within 6 × 10−3 to 158.18, while R2 of ANN fluctuated from 0.82 to 0.95, and the mean squared error (MSE) varied between 0.006 and 0.1450, which shows MLR design performance superior than ANN design. The processing conditions of 48.24 °C DT and 637.431 W MP with a drying time of 1.3 h were identified as optimum conditions with a desirability value of 0.98 to obtain maximum oil yield (13.38%) and good colour (L* (20.83), a* (17.34), b* (8.62)) of nutmug mace. Moreover, no myristicin (5.92%) degradation was observed compared with the sun and convective drying. Among the tested models, page and logarithmic models gave a better prediction of moisture ratio. |
