Abstract

Mulberry (Morus alba) has been considered as one of the strategic fruits with high levels of useful sugar. Regarding to the advantages of artificial intelligence technology, the application of this technology has been developed extensively to modelling the required parameters in drying procedures.In this study, mulberry drying experiments were implemented in a hot air dryer in two initial moisture levels (%80±1-85%±1) three temperature levels of 50, 60 and 70 and three air speed levels of 1/5, 2 and 2/5 m/s in stable moisture. In order to model the quality of drying, (MLP) neural networks with various threshold and neurons as well as Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm and threshold function of tan-sigmoid were used to instruct networks. The results indicated that the best neural network layout with the structure of (3-12-3) and the threshold function of (Logsig and Purelin) indicate the best result compared to other topologies with the largest coefficient (0/9998) and lowest MSE (0/00002).
