Abstract
This study presents the drying behavior of cecina from Yecapixtla Morelos through an indirect solar dryer to obtain the drying kinetics. The behavior of the drying kinetics was examined, observing significant effects related to the levels of pH, salinity, and density of the cecina. The effective diffusion coefficients Deff were 5.673x10-9, 2.644x10-9, 2.133x10-8 for three samples corresponding to different days of elaboration. Artisanal dry cecina samples are compared versus the dry cecina of this study. The results showed a higher concentration of salinity and a lower pH of the dry cecina of this study versus the dry artisanal cecina. Solar drying through the indirect dryer present in this work is a viable alternative to give added value to the production of cecina from Yecapixtla in Morelos, Mexico.
