Thermodynamic model and infrared thermography monitoring system for convective drying of goldenberry (Physalis peruviana)

[EN] The goldenberry (Physalis peruviana) is a highly perishable Andean fruit with valuable nutritional and functional properties. Its preservation poses a challenge due to its high moisture content. This study presents an integrated method combining infrared thermography (IR) and irreversible therm...

Its preservation poses a challenge due to its high moisture content. This study presents an integrated method combining infrared thermography (IR) and irreversible thermodynamics to characterize the convective drying process of goldenberry.Samples were dried at 60 degrees C and 1.0 m/s air velocity.

An irreversible thermodynamic model was applied to estimate water flux, free energy changes, and chemical potential gradients, including mechanical energy effects. The phenomenological coefficient from Onsager's relation was correlated with water flux to describe internal water migration. IR thermography enabled real-time, non-invasive monitoring of temperature and emissivity, correlating with morphological changes during drying. Sorption isotherms were fitted using the GAB model, and thermodynamic analysis allowed separation of physical and mechanical contributions to water potential. This approach provides a deeper understanding of moisture transport during drying and demonstrates the usefulness of combining IR monitoring with thermodynamic modeling. It offers a promising tool for optimizing drying protocols in high-moisture tropical fruits like goldenberry.Funding for open access charge: Universitat Politecnica de ValenciaElsevierDepartamento de Tecnología de AlimentosInstituto Universitario de Ingeniería de Alimentos (FoodUPV)Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería Agronómica y del Medio NaturalUniversitat Politècnica de ValènciaRepositorio Institucional de la Universitat Politècnica de València Riunet20262026-02-01journal articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501VoRhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://riunet.upv.es/handle/10251/232657reponame:RiuNet.
