摘要: The drying behaviour of kiwi fruits at different stage ripeness has been evaluated. A diffusional model solved by a finite difference method proposed to simulate the kinetics temperatures. Drying curves ripe kiwis exhibited only one period, whereas two periods could be observed on green and half-ripe kiwis. Furthermore, were coincident. effective coefficient, which was identified temperatures (from 40 80 °C) from experimental data, varied with temperature according Arrhenius equation. An adequate simulation using achieved. Thus, percentage explained variance for (considering periods) 99.7 99.3% (only period). Regarding characteristics dried kiwis, it that colour samples mainly affected temperature, functional properties such as hydration fat retention capacities mostly influenced fruit.
