Resumo: | The yam (Discorea sp) is a tuber rich in carbohydrates, vitamins and mineral salts, besides several components that serve as raw material for medicines. It grows well in tropical and subtropical climates and develops well in zones with an annual pluvial precipitation of around 1300mm, and with cultural treatments, its productivity can exceed 30t/ha. When harvested, the tubers possess about 70% of moisture, and are merchandised "in natura", in the atmospheric temperature, which can cause its fast deterioration. The present work studied the drying of the yam in the form of slices of 1.0 and 2.5cm thickness, as well as in the form of fillets with 1.0 x 1.0 x 5.0cm, with the drying air varying from 40 to 70°C. The equating of the process was accomplished, allowing to simulate the drying as a function of the conditions of the drying air and of the initial and final moisture of the product. Also investigated was the expense of energy as function of the air temperature. The drying in the form of fillets, with the air in a temperature range between 45 and 50°C, was shown to be the most viable process when combining both the quality of the product and the expense of energy. |
