Comparative analysis of drying kinetics, thermodynamic properties, and mathematical modeling of pomegranate peel (Punica granatum L.) in a hybrid solar dryer and an oven dryer

Abstract Drying pomegranate peels, a by-product of juice extraction, offers an effective means to preserve bioactive compounds while reducing waste. This study investigates the influence of drying temperature and layer thickness on the drying kinetics, thermodynamic properties, and modeling of pomeg...
