Among the stated models, the Page model gave highest value of R2 (0.9946) with low value of SEE (0.0317) for sliced samples in comparison to solid. This indicates that, sliced turmeric drying fits better to Page model. This in turn established good drying behavior of turmeric in sliced form than whole. Nevertheless, the SCD system exhibited satisfactory performance for turmeric drying as evident from R2 and SEE values obtained irrespective of it being whole or sliced.
