| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this thesis is to examine the effect of several criteria that must be considered in order to select the most suitable dryer for fruit leather production. Different drying temperature in the ranged of 60-80oC and air velocity in the range of 1 to 3m/s is analyzed to see their effect on fruit leather moisture content, weight and drying time while drying process. The drying method factor whether convection or conduction and material used to transfer heat which is brass, aluminum and stainless steel is also determined. The comparison between value of the moisture content by using Moisture Content Determinant Balancing Machine and manually weighting is also done. The heat conductivity of the stainless steel and brass is determined by using Heat Conductivity Apparatus. By using these results and other considerations, the best dryer for fruit leather production is concluded which is drum dryer. | |
