Contribution to the Convective Drying of Green Oak Glands of Aures (Quercus ilex)

Authors(1) :-

This work deals with the drying four shapes of green oak glands in ventilated oven (LabTechOven) by natural convection at 40, 50 and 60 C°. This is to study the kinetics of water content, the mass diffusivity and the activation energy. The results show that the diffusion coefficient varies between 7,53 × 10-10 and 9,89 × 10-8 (m2/s) with the increasing temperature. The values of the activation energy are respectively 65,96, 34,17, 29,88 and 22,59 (kJ/mol) for the whole oak glands, peeled glands, peeled half glands and gland powder. These results are in agreement with the literature.
