TL;DR: Sun drying of chempedak (Artocarpus integer) was carried out on different sample sizes to investigate the effects on product quality and texture degradation and total color changes as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: Sun drying of chempedak (Artocarpus integer) was carried out on different sample sizes to investigate the effects on product quality. Fick's second law model was used to determine the effective diffusivities of sun–dried chempedak slabs based on the drying rate versus moisture content plots. In addition, texture degradation and total color changes were investigated. The texture and color changes of dried chempedak were relatively significant (p < 0.05) compared to fresh chempedak. There was an increase in dried fruit hardness and chewiness but a decrease in springiness and cohesiveness during drying.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the drying characteristic and drying kinetics of the Ganoderma slices under constant air velocity and slice thickness, and the effect of drying temperatures on the size and surface structure of basidiospores were studied.
Abstract: In this study, drying of Ganoderma tsugae Murrill slices was carried out at different temperatures in a hot air circulating oven. The objectives were to investigate the drying characteristic and drying kinetics of the Ganoderma slices under constant air velocity and slice thickness. In addition, the effect of drying temperatures on the size and surface structure of Ganoderma tsugae basidiospores were studied. Using statistical analysis, a two-term model was found to fit best with the experimental data. Convective drying of Ganoderma tsugae slices at 60°C shows the minimum heat deformation to the size and surface structure of basidiospores.
