Abstract
Drying of black pepper has been investigated in a lab-scale conventional spouted bed dryer. Spouting behavior of black pepper was studied, and the minimum spouting velocity was determined. The effect of operational conditions; drying temperature, air velocity and stagnant bed height on drying kinetics was analysed. The higher values of drying rates were achieved when the dryer was operated with moderately high temperatures, high airflow rates...
