The moisture equilibrium isotherms were determined at 50, 60 and 70 °C using a gravimetric technique. Five isotherm models were explored for their fitting to the experimental data. Azix showed sigmoid type II isotherms while Hypril showed type III isotherms according to the BET classification. All investigated models fitted well the water sorption isotherms of Hypril. By contrast, only GAB and Adam and Shove equations gave appropriate fit to the experimental data of Azix. For both formulations, the isosteric heat and the differential entropy decreased sharply with the increase of equilibrium moisture content to minimum values and thereafter remain constant. In the case of Azix, the integral enthalpy decreased with equilibrium moisture content while the integral entropy increased until reaching a constant value. Contrariwise, Hypril showed decreasing of the integral enthalpy and entropy with the equilibrium moisture content.

The effective moisture diffusivity coefficient varied due to temperature alterations in the range between 1.4 and 4.5 10-10 m2/s for raw and 0.91 and 2.56 10-10 m2/s for blanched seaweeds. Significant changes in structural properties and chemical composition resulted in a much longer drying time of blanched seaweeds, when compared with raw. Drying temperature of 38.0 °C resulted in more brown color, when compared with other samples. Sorption characteristics of dried raw seaweeds depended on salt content and showed high accumulation of moisture at relative humidity of air of 80.0 %. The blanched seaweeds showed linear accumulation of moisture within increasing of relative humidity of drying air from 20.0 to 80.0 %, but high level of hysteresis was determined between sorption and desorption isotherms.

Different levels of temperatures have been tested with the same equilibrium moisture content (EMC) conditions and low air velocity.

However, acerola processing generates a substantial amount of wastes, which can represent up to 40% of total processed volume. The drying of acerola residues in a new dryer, developed by our research group, named as roto-aerated dryer, has been investigated. This dryer provides a better fluid-particle contact than the conventional rotatory dryer. A pre-drying system with infrared lamps has been installed in the feed of this new dryer. The effect of the pre-treatment of this fruit residues with ethanol was also investigated. The results shown that the roto-aerated dryer assisted by infrared radiation hybrid combined with a pre-treatment with ethanol is a good alternative for processing fruit residues, aiming their reuse. It was possible to identify conditions under which the phenolic, flavonoid, and antioxidant capacity presented high levels after drying.
