Abstract
In this present study, influence of various temperatures (40–60 °C) on drying characteristics such as moisture ratio (MORA), drying rate (DYR) and moisture diffusivity (EMOD) of Cardiospermum helicacabum leaves were investigated using hot air drying method. Outcomes exhibited that, drying was occurred in falling rate period and enhancing temperature leads to elevate the drying characteristics as well as shorten the drying time. At higher temperature (60 °C), loss of moisture from leaves was occurred while comparing with other temperatures and shortens the time of drying. Similarly, EMOD was also increased with enhancement in temperature which indicates the quick diffusion process was takes place at higher temperature. Modified page model was precisely fit with observed drying data.
