This paper aims to investigate the use of low-pressure superheated steam (LPSS) drying for pumpkin slices. The experiments were conducted at the drying temperatures of 80°C-120°C and absolute pressures of 7-40 kPa to examine the drying kinetics, quality of dried products viz. color, shrinkage, rehyd...
