Abstract

The thin layer drying behavior of Viscum album L. (mistletoe) leaves was investigated in UV combined convective drier. Drying air temperatures and velocities were selected as 60-70 and 80OC, and 0.5-1 and 1.5m/s respectively. Drying curves obtained by using experimental data were fitted to the six models reported in the literature. Comparing the determination of coefficient (R), reduced chi- square (χ2) values of six models, it was obtained that the Modified Page model represents the best fitting.
