Data from greenhouse solar drying using response surface methodology for the production of dried banana
Description
The research contributes to understanding the potential of solar drying and its application in the context of banana processing. The research emphasizes the significant variable of drying time and drying temperature on the quality of dried banana. Response surface methodology and statistical analysis were employed to evaluate the effects of experimental variables on moisture content and color change.

Steps to reproduce
In this study, the effect of the selected condition was designed and studied using a full factorial design. The RSM was used to investigate the impact of drying variables. The experimental condition comprised 9 combinations with drying time (24 – 48 hours) and drying temperature (45 – 55 °C). The model was evaluated based on the response of moisture content and color change. The samples were characterized using the relative moisture content on wet weight and surface color measurement of the L* a* b* system.
