Résumé :

In this work, the drying rate of mango slices is experimentally studied and modeled. The developed model takes into account the physical transformations occurring during the drying process. The simulated drying rates, computed with the proposed model are compared with a set of experimental drying rates obtained by analyzing several drying trials. The model is also used to analyze the sensitivity of the drying rate with respect to its physico-chemical parameters. The results show a good fit between the model and the experimental data.
