Abstract

The inefficient drying process of Cananga odorata flowers leads to significant quality degradation and energy consumption. This study investigates the drying kinetics of Cananga odorata using oven-assisted drying at 50 °C, aiming to identify the most suitable kinetic model for optimizing the process. Moisture content, moisture ratio, and drying rate were analyzed, and three models—Lewis, Page, and Henderson & Pabis—were evaluated using statistical parameters (R², SSE, RMSE, MSE, and X²). The results showed that the Page model provided the best fit (R² = 0.9970, SSE = 0.0039, RMSE = 0.0180), accurately describing the drying behavior. The drying process exhibited an initial rapid moisture loss phase followed by a slower drying period. These findings offer critical insights into optimizing Cananga odorata drying processes for industrial applications.
