Mathematical modeling of the drying kinetics of the leaves of lemon grass (Cymbopogon citratus Stapf) and its effects on quality
The aim of this study was evaluate the drying of the lemon grass plant (Cymbopogon citratus Stapf) at different air temperatures (40 °C, 50 °C, 60 °C and 70 °C) to adjust the experimental data obtained with different mathematical models and assess the quality of the plant after drying.
