Abstract
Drying of sliced corm of Moyu which represents a group of hard-to-dry herbaceous plants was carried out in a batch laboratory vibrated fluid bed to determine drying kinetics and identify operating parameters fo r required product quality. Results from laboratory studies were verif ied in a pilot-scale continuous VFB dryer. Field trials performed over the Moyu harvest season confirmed the results extrapolated from labor atory data.
