Description
Summary:This paper deals with a comparison between two different drying processes. Hot air and a vacuumfreeze drying processes were used for drying samples of plum [Prunus domestica L.] varieties ("Cacanska lepotica', 'Cacanska rana' and 'President'). The main objective of our research was to analyse and simulate the change of the quality parameters formed during dehydration by comparing two known drying procedures convective dehydration and lyophilisation. The study shows the heat and mass transfers of the two drying methods, and examines some special parameters which characterize the quality of dried products, including the chemical components, rehydration, and surface hardness.
