Abstract
The critical process during mocaf (modified cassava flour) production is the drying process. Commonly, the drying of mocaf chips using the conventional method by sunlight dyer. The usage of sunlight has a weakness, especially during the rainy season. On the other side, the time- drying process causes the mocaf chips to become oxidated, resulting in a musty odor and a brownish colour, reducing the quality of the final product.The Automatic dryer is one of the alternative methods for the mocaf drying process. The Automatic dryer uses an electric heater element as the heat source. The research aims to develop the mathematical models of drying kinetics and determine the parameters of the drying process of mocaf chips drying process. The result shows that the kinetics model of drying that best fits the data is the second-order kinetic model. The average of the determinant coefficient is 0.822. At the higher temperature, the drying speed constant gets bigger. The activation energy of drying of mocaf drying is 13.49 x 10-3 kcal/gmol.
