Drying Kinetics, Effective Moisture Diffusivity, and Thermodynamic Analysis of Banana Slices Under Potassium Metabisulfite (KMS) Pretreatment

The present study investigates the effect of drying temperature and potassium metabisulfite (KMS) pretreatment on the drying kinetics, effective moisture diffusivity, activation energy, thermodynamic properties, and thin-layer drying-model performance of green banana slices. Bana...

Thermal, Structural, and Functional Interactions of Date Seed Powder-Sucrose Composites Produced by Thermal Treatment

Abstract The incorporation of dietary fibers into sucrose-rich food systems represents a promising strategy for developing healthier reduced-sugar formulations; however, the structural interactions governing their functionality during thermal processing remain poorly understood....
