Determination of the Osmotic Dehydration Parameters of Mushrooms using Constrained Optimization

Abstract

To keep and transport the agricultural products have importance especially in terms of health. These products have to be kept properly so as to transport distant places. Recently, Osmotic Dehydration Technology has become more important in keeping the products well for a longer time and among the other food dehydration methods it provides better color, flavor, and nutritiousness. In this study, it is studied on the drying of mushrooms with osmotic dehydration method which is also one of the most significant export commodities in Turkey and determination of the best dehydration parameters is carried out using optimization. For optimization process, a heuristic method is used and internet of things based prototype design which can control the system automatically is formed.
