In the present investigation, the effect of temperature on bixin was evaluated by means of drying kinetics, for which a series of steps were carried out, such as drying kinetics in a tray dryer by forced convection applying the 2 factorial design.3 to represent the minimum and maximum values at temperatures of 50 °C and 70 °C combining it with air speeds of 3m/s and 5 m/s and a bed thickness of 3mm and 5mm respectively. Bixin contents of 7.98 mg/100g m.s. were found at temperatures of 50 °C and 70 °C, maintaining constant air velocity and bed thickness, this result indicates that bixin is not affected at these temperatures, the rate of drying increased from 1.36 kg/h m2 at a temperature of 50 °C up to 3.79 kg/h m2 for a temperature of 70 °C indicating a higher mass transfer due to the direct influence of temperature, followed by the dry seeds ofBixa orellana L were ground and turne...
