Abstract

A laboratory-scale hot air convective dryer (HACD) was used to dry date fruits surplus at 0.5 ± 0.02 kg kg−1 to a safe moisture level of 0.35 kg kg−1 under drying temperatures (T) of 50–70 °C with airflow rates (Q) of 0.18 and 0.28 m3 h−1. Kinetics, modeling, energy, economic feasibility, and color difference of the date fruits were analyzed and then optimized using response surface methodology (RSM) with two drying factors and eight responses. The drying time to reach the desired moisture level ranged from 9 to 28 h under different drying conditions. The proposed mathematical model expressed the moisture behavior over drying time with the highest R2 = 0.9998 and 0.9999, respectively, for 0.18 and 0.28 m3 h−1. Effective moisture diffusivity (Deff) was calculated using the starting accessibility parameter and varied between 9.9 × 10−8 and 3.3 × 10−7 m2 s−1. The energy analysis revealed that the specific energy consumption (SEC) varies between 22.04 and 43.05 kWh.kg−1 and the drying efficiency (η) are 16.91, 16.14, and 25.38% for 50, 60, and 70 °C, respectively. The RSM optimization using a multi-level design with two centurium points denoted the optimum responses for the highest drying temperature. The lowest payback period (Pb) of the drying system was estimated to be 0.45 years for T = 70 °C and Q = 0.28 m3 h−1. The optimum drying time, Deff, total energy consumption (Et), SEC, η, and total color change (ΔE) were estimated to be 9 h, 3.3 × 10−7 m2 s−1, 33.91 kWh, 22.04 kWh.kg−1, 27.69%, and 1.69, respectively.
