Description of the osmotic dehydration and convective drying of coconut (Cocos nucifera L.) pieces: A three-dimensional approach

► Osmotic dehydration is a cheap alternative in the partial removal of water. ► A detailed description of the process in semi-mature coconut slices is presented. ► To this end, diffusion equation and optimization algorithm is used. ► A model with boundary condition of the third kind well describes t...
