Abstract

This chapter presents four mathematical approaches to describe processes of osmotic dehydration and complementary drying of agricultural products with cylindrical geometry. For this, four solutions for diffusion equation (in cylindrical coordinates) were proposed, two analytical solutions and two numerical solutions. All the formalism necessary to obtain these four solutions were presented. The most suitable models to describe the osmotic pretreatment and the complementary drying were determined using data of the osmotic dehydration of banana in solutions with 40 °Brix of sucrose and at temperature of 40 °C and data of the complementary drying at 40 °C. Programs developed in the FORTRAN language were used for optimization processes. Finally, the results obtained for the four models in the optimization processes were compared in order to obtain the best model.
