Effect of Drying Temperature and Drying Air Velocity on the Drying Rate and Drying Constant of Cocoa Bean

摘要

The effect of some drying parameters and drying conditions of cocoa bean were determined. Three levels of temperatures (55, 70 and 81 °C) and three air velocity levels (1.3, 2.51 and 3.7 m/s) were used in the presented study. The moisture content of the c
