Drying kinetics of cocoa beans undergoing vacuum drying
Cocoa bean is rich in polyphenol content that acts as an anti-oxidant, sensitive to high temperature. Therefore, vacuum drying method is proposed to maintain the polyphenol content during its preservation process. The main objective of this work is to determine the optimum drying temperature and vac...
