Kinetics of conductive hydro-drying of pumpkin () pulp.

Pumpkin () samples were dehydrated by conductive hydro-drying (CHD) (1 atm, 80 °C), sliced and purées, both structures with thicknesses of 1.5, 3 and 6 mm. Drying kinetics were analyzed and the effective diffusivity ( ) was determined in both structures at the three thicknesses.
