Assessment of freeze, continuous, and intermittent infrared drying methods for sliced persimmon.

Persimmons contribute positively to human health. Although off-season utilization typically presents a challenge due to permissions' perishable nature, it may become feasible through the implementation of appropriate drying methods. In this study, round sliced samples were dried to assess drying kinetics, modeling potential, color attributes, rehydration capacity, energy consumption (EC), cost index, and thermal properties.
