Özet
In this study, a fruit‐based, nutritious snack without added sugar or salt was developed to promote healthy eating habits. An infrared (IR)‐assisted heat pump drying (IR‐HPD) system was employed as an alternative to conventional drying methods. Drying was conducted at two temperatures (35°C and 45°C) and two IR power levels (75 and 150 W). Additionally, control samples were produced at 35°C and 45°C without using IR, and the effects of combining IR drying with HPD were investigated. Results indicate that IR‐HPD, particularly at 45°C and 150 W, significantly reduces drying time (by up to 136 min) and energy consumption (by up to 42.91%), showcasing its potential for an efficient dehydration process for selected food matrices. IR application increased the drying rate (DR) by 22.05%–42.64% at 35°C and by 11.30%–22.60% at 45°C. The effective moisture diffusivity (Deff) ranged from 1.88 × 10−10 to …
