“The effective moisture diffusivity of the dried coriander shows a decreasing trend, sun drying (2.63 × 10−10 m2/s and 1.05 × 10−10 m2/s) followed by solar dryer (1.31 × 10−10 m2/s and 6.57 × 10−10 m2/s), and shade drying (6.57 × 10−11 m2/s and 3.94 × 10−11 m2/s) for winter and summer seasons, respectively.”
shade drying → has effective moisture diffusivity → 6.57 × 10−11 m2/s and 3.94 × 10−11 m2/s
