dc.description.abstractBecause the drying of tistle flower is important due to its utilization as curd coagulant in Serra da Estrela cheese production, this work intended to study the drying process of thistle flower, by comparing the convective drying at constant tepetrature with the natural drying with variable temperature. For that, the natural drying process was monitored as to the evolvution of water loss along time and different experiments were conducted for the convenctive drying with air at 0.5 m/s at different tenperatures (between 35 and 65 ºC). The kinetic data were fitted to different thin layer models from literature and also to the Fick’s second law of diffusion. Also the mass transfer correlations were used to compute the mass trnafer properties. The results obtained indicated that the different thin layer models tested fitted wel the experimental data, with values of R between 0.972 and 0.999, but with slightly best results if using the Modified Page model (loest value of R equal to 0.997). The values of the moisture diffusion and mass transfer coefficients in all cases were found to increase with increasing temperature of the drying air, from 35 to 65 ºC. The values of diffusivity increased from 1.902x10-10 to 1.300x10-9 m2/s and the values of the mass transfer coefficient increased from 5.731x10-9 to 8.049x10-8 m/s. The values of activation energy for moisture diffusion and for mass transfer were found to be 56.48 kJ/mol and 77.66 kJ/mol, respectively.pt_PT
