Background: In many coconut industries, the outer layer of thin brown skin of coconut kernel
known as testa is peeled out as a byproduct. Despite the testa is rich in fat and plenty of …

Coconut oil, commonly used edible oil in Sri Lanka, has number of health benefits such as
cholesterol-lowering effects, reduced risk of cardiovascular diseases, weight loss, improved …

This study intends to determine the diffusion coefficient of moisture during hot air drying of
copra. A computational fluid dynamic model was used to fine-tune the system parameters …

Single bed and multi bed drying of copra was evaluated using a hybrid dryer with three
compartments. A high percentage (> 75%) of white copra resulted in single bed drying at low …

A three-dimensional particle model to describe the moisture distribution in copra for 20
hours of drying was developed using computational fluid dynamics. Drying experiments …
