    Abstract: The thin-layer drying performance of four varieties of Sword bean seeds was investigated using a laboratory drying oven at temperatures between 30°C and 40°C to identify the best mathematical model for describing their drying kinetics. The Sword bean seeds were dried over 68.04 to 171.96 minutes, with weights measured until reaching a constant valu... Show More
