The drying kinetics of Beetroot was studied experimentally, followed by mathematical modeling. This work reveals the effect of input electrical power at 300, 600, and 800 W on the drying kinetics of Beetroot. The thin layer drying behavior of beetroot specimens was studied by employing seven distinc...
