To reveal quality change rules and establish the predicting model of konjac vacuum drying, a response surface methodology was adopted to optimize and analyze the vacuum drying process, while an artificial neural network (ANN) was applied to model the drying process and compare with the response surface methodology (RSM) model. The different material thickness (MT) of konjac samples (2, 4 and 6mm) were dehydrated at temperatures (DT) of 50, 60 and 70 °C with vacuum degrees (DV) of 0.04, 0.05 and 0.06 MPa, followed by Box–Behnken design. Dehydrated samples were analyzed for drying time (t), konjac glucomannan content (KGM) and whiteness index (WI). The results showed that the DT and MT should be, respectively, under 60 °C and 4 mm for quality and efficiency purposes. Optimal conditions were found to be: DT of 60.34 °C; DV of 0.06 MPa and MT of 2 mm, and the corresponding responses t, KGM and WI were 5 h, 61.96% and 82, respectively. Moreover, a 3-10-3 ANN model was established to compare with three second order polynomial models established by the RSM, the result showed that the RSM models were superior in predicting capacity (R2 > 0.928; MSE < 1.46; MAE < 1.04; RMSE < 1.21) than the ANN model. The main results may provide some theoretical and technical basis for the konjac vacuum drying and the designing of related equipment.

This research aimed to optimize the tray dryer temperature and time of white corn flour culture by Response Surface Methodology (RSM). There were two cultures used in this research, namely Amylolytic Culture (AC) and Complete Culture (CC). AC consisted of Penicillium citrinum, Aspergillus niger, Acremonium strictum, and Candida famata, while CC consisted of Penicillium chrysogenum, Penicillium citrinum, Aspergillus niger, Rhizopus stolonifer, Rhizopus oryzae, Fusarium oxysporum, Acremonium strictum, Candida famata, Kodamaea ohmeri and Candida krusei/incospicua. The independent variables in this study were drying temperature and time, where the quality indicators used were total viability of mold and yeast, water content, water activity, and pH. This research used a factor response surface methodology. Data were analyzed by ANOVA with an α level of 95%. The result of this research showed that the optimum drying process for AC starter was 40°C for 10 hrs, with characteristic response viability 8.8×107 CFU/g, water activity 0.43, water content 8.90%, and pH 4.05. CC starter showed an optimum drying process at 49°C for 4.5 hrs, with characteristic response viability 4.9×107 CFU/g, water activity 0.49, water content 7.02%, and pH 3.95. The optimum tray dryer temperatures and times were achieved for AC and CC starters.

Mango (Mangifera india L.) is a common fruit that has been found in a wide range of applications. However, the diversification of mango products has been limited. In this study, the manufacture of dried mango was attempted to process by adopting the cold drying technique. The response surface methodology was used to evaluate the simultaneous effects of cold drying temperature - CT (℃), ultrasonic power - UP (W) and slice thickness-ST (cm) on total polyphenol (TP) and total ascorbic acid (TA) content by using Box Behnken experimental design. The established model was considered suitable to describe the experimental data. The optimized drying parameters were determined at the temperature of 45.02℃, ultrasonic power of 312.22 W, and slice thickness of 0.96 cm. These conditions effectively resulted in the highest retention of TP values of 338.994 mg GAE/100 g and TA of 36.783 mg AA/100 g.
