Abstract. Drying kinetics of Ganoderma lucidum was investigated in an air impingement dryer at the drying temperature of o C with a constant air velocity of 15 m/s. The drying time decreased significantly with the increase of drying temperature. The experimental drying curves showed only a falling rate period. The experimental results were fitted to 10 thin-layer drying models and it was found that modified Page models best described the drying curves. The moisture effective diffusivity ranged from to m 2 /s calculated using the Fick s second law of diffusion. Activation energy for moisture diffusion of the Ganoderma lucidum samples was found to be kj/mol. Ganoderma lucidum samples dried at 65 o C revealed the highest polysaccharide content than dried at other temperatures. Keywords. drying, Ganoderma lucidum, air impingement, Mathematical modeling, polysaccharide Introduction Ganoderma lucidum is known as a treasured fungus in most Eastern countries like China, Japan and Korea, for it is very rare in the wild. The fruiting bodies called Lingzhi or magic herb in China, and it has long been used as a folk or oriental medicine to cure various human diseases. Ganoderma lucidum have been proved to be effective in the treatment of chronic hepatopathy, hypertension hyperglycemia and neoplasia (Shi, Zhang and Yang, 2013; Wang et al., 1997). Ganoderma lucidum has been successfully domesticated in artificial culture, so a large amount of ganoderma lucidum will be harvested in a short time. Because it has high moisture content and high enzymatic activity such as peroxidase (POD), Ganoderma lucidum must be treated in one or two days in order to reduce economic losses. Drying is the most common methods for Ganoderma lucidum in order to prevent the reproduction of microorganisms, to prevent active components degradation (Mujumdar, 1997), and to lose weight for reducing transportation costs (Okos, Narsimhan, Singh and Witnauer, 1992; Doymaz, 2012).

2 lucidum by natural sun drying is the most common methods in China as it is the simplest and most economical technique. But it also has disadvantages that the drying conditions cannot be controlled well so that the quality is usually not as good as expected. Besides, the final product may be contaminated by dust and insects, and it requires long drying time in lower temperature or rainy season (Ren and Mao, 2001). Air-impingement drying technology is an efficient drying process and has been used successfully in some agricultural materials such as grapes (Xiao, Pang, Wang, Bai, Yang and Gao, 2010), yam slices (Xiao, Yao, Lin, Yang, Meng and Gao, 2012), Hami melons (Zhang et al., 2011) and cherry tomatoes (Wang, Gao, Xiao, Lin and Gao, 2011). During air-impingement processing, the air impinges on the product surface at high velocity, removes the thermal boundary layers and increases the rate of heat transfer (Anderson and Singh, 2006). So hot air impingement drying may be suited to the Ganoderma lucidum dehydration and obtain a good quality. Drying is a complex process in which unsteady heat and moisture transfer occur simultaneously (Sahin and Dincer, 2005), and the knowledge of this will be important for process design, energy consumption and product quality. Mathematical modeling has represented a good way to describe and predict drying process. Several different empirical, semi-empirical, and theoretical equations that can be widely used for describe for different material and drying conditions (). However, up to now, little or no information on modeling of the drying kinetics of Ganoderma lucidum. Polysaccharide is one of the most important biologically active components in Ganoderma lucidum, which was reported to play many special roles, such as it can promote the function of macrophages, B cells, T cell s as well as dendritic cells, include strong antioxidant activities and have anti-tumor activities (Shi, Zhang and Yang,2013; Shao, Dai, Xu, Lin and Gao, 2004). Besides, in Pharmacopoeia of China the polysaccharide content of the Ganoderma lucidum should be determined for evaluating the quality. So in this study the polysaccharide content was taken as an indicator of the product quality. Therefore, the current work was undertaken to: (1) Ganoderma lucidum was dried by hot air impingement drier at different temperature of o C with a constant air velocity of 15 m/s; (2) model the drying process using 10 thin-layer models; (3) calculate moisture effective diffusivity and activation energy of the drying process; (4) analyze the content of polysaccharide to evaluate the product quality. Materials and Methods Materials Fresh Ganoderma lucidum were picked up from Ganoderma lucidum production base of Lishui of Zhengjiang province. To ensure the uniformity of the physical characteristics of experimental materials, the samples were carefully selected at the same size (average thickness, length and width is 2.52 cm, 16.8 cm, 14.3 cm, respectively). The initial moisture content of samples was determined as 1.516±0.004 kg water/kg dry matter (60.25±0.40%, w.b.). The samples were dried in no more than 24 h after hand-picking.

3 The schematic diagram of equipment used for drying process is shown in Fig. 1. In this study, the air velocity was at constant value of 15m/s. The drying temperature was at the range of o C. When the dryer had reached steady state conditions for the set temperature, the Ganoderma lucidum samples were placed on the drying tray in one layer. At that time, the drying process was started. The weight of samples was measured by an electronic balance having a sensitivity of 0.01 g at 1 h intervals during drying. The samples were dried until they reached the desired final moisture content of kg water/kg dry matter (13.0% w.b.). The experiments were repeated three times Mathematical modeling of drying curves The moisture ratio (MR) of the grapes was calculated using the following equation: (1) where M t, M 0 and M e are moisture content at any time of drying (kg water/kg dry matter), initial moisture content (kg water/kg dry matter) and equilibrium moisture content (kg water/kg dry matter), respectively. The drying rate of grape samples during drying experiments was computed using Eq. (2): (2) where t 1 and t 2 are the drying times in hours at different times during dying; M t1 and M t2 is the moisture content of grape samples at time t 1 and t 2, respectively expressed on a dry basis. Drying curves were fitted to 10 drying models, which are widely used in the scientific literature to describe the kinetics of the drying process. The selected thin-layer drying models are identified in Table 1.

Three criteria of statistical analysis have been used to evaluate the fitting of the experimental data to the different models: the coefficient of determination (R 2 ), reduced chi-square (χ 2 ) and root mean square error (RMSE). The higher the R 2 value and the lower the χ 2 and RMSE values, the better is the goodness of fit. These parameters can be calculated as: 1,,, (3),, (4)., Where MR exp,i is the ith experimental moisture ratio, MR pre,i is the ith predicted moisture ratio, N is the number of observation and z is the number of measured data.

4 2.6 Determination of moisture effective diffusivity(d eff ) Fick s second law of diffusion equation (Eq. 6) has been widely used to describe the drying process during the falling rate period for agricultural materials. (6) The solution of diffusion equation (Eq. 3) for infinite slab was sloved by Crank (1975), and supposed uniform initial moisture distribution, negligible external resistance, constant diffusivity, and negligible shrinkage, is (Falade and Solademi, 2010; Doymaz,2009; Goyal, Kingsly, Manikantan and Ilyas, 2006): (7) Where, D eff is the moisture effective diffusivity (m 2 /s); L is the half thickness of Ganoderma lucidum samples, with m as its value; t is the drying time expressed in second (s); and n is positive integer. For long time drying times, Eq. 7 can be further simplified to a limiting form of the diffusion equation and expressed in a logarithmic form: (8) The D eff is obtained by plotting the experimental drying data in term s of lnmr versus time. From Eq. (8), a plot of lnmr versus time gives a straight line with a slope of (9) 2.7 Calculation of activation energy The dependence of the effective moisture diffusivity on drying temperature is generally described by the Arrhenius equation (Duc, Han and Keum, 2011; Meziane, 2011; Jokkumar and Pandey, 2012):. (10) Where D 0 is the pre-exponential factor of Arrhenius equation in m 2 /s; Ea is the activation energy in kj/mol; R is the universal gas constant in kj/mol K; T is temperature in o C. The Eq. 10 can be expressed in a logarithmic form (Eq.11). (11). So the activation energy (Ea) can be calculated from the slope of lnd eff versus the reciprocal of the temperature (1/ (T )). Polysaccharide content The dried Ganoderma lucidum samples were ground into power and take about 2g to use for analysis. The method followed the Pharmacopoeia of China 2005 edition. The content was expressed as g/110g dry product. Results and Discussion Drying kinetics The moisture ratio of the Ganoderma lucidum as a funtionof drying time at different drying temperature of o C is shown in Fig. 2. At all drying temperatures, the moisture ratio of the samples was decreased continuously with the drying time. The drying time needed to reduce the moisture from initial moisture content of about 60.2% (w.b.) to desired moisture 13% (w.b.) in the final product was 20, 14, 10 and 7 h at the drying temperature of 55, 60, 65 and 70 o C, respectively. So it is clear that the drying temperature a significant effect on drying time. This might be because higher air temperature can increase the heat transfer between the air and the Ganoderma lucidum samples and accelerate water migration and transfer (Falade and Solademi, 2010). This result was in agreement with previous literature studies on drying of foods such as Monukka seedless grapes (Xiao et al., 2010), pumpkin (Tunde-Akintunde ang Ogunlakin, 2011), apricot (Toğrul and Pehlivan) and kiwifruit (Orikasa, Wu, Shiina and Tagawa, 2008) ASABE Annual International Meeting Paper Page 3

It can be found that the drying rate decreased continuously with drying time, and the entire drying process occurred in the falling rate period like most food products, which illustrated that moisture diffusion controlled the drying process. The absence of constant rate period might be because of that at initial stages of drying the material could not provide a constant supply of moisture for an appreciable period of time (Toğrul and Pehlivan, 2003; Singh and Gupta, 2007). 0.6 Drying rate (g water/g solid hour) o C 65 o C 60 o C 55 o C Moisture content (kg/kg) Fig. 3 Effect of drying temperature on drying rate of Ganoderma lucidum Moisture effective diffusivity and activation energy As the drying rate curves in Fig. 3, the drying process occurred in one falling rate period, so the Fick s second law of diffusion can be used to describe the drying process. The experimental drying data in terms of ln (MR) versus drying time is given in Fig. 4. And the slope can be given from the linear regression of lnmr versus time curves, so the effective diffusion coefficients can be determined as shown in Tab. 2. In Tab. 2, it was found that the D eff was at the range of m 2 s -1 to m 2 s -1 under the drying temperature of o C, These values lie within the general range from to 10-9 m 2 /s for food materials (Madamba, Driscoll and Buckl, 1996).The D eff significantly increased with the increase of drying temperature, it may due to that in the higher drying temperature the water molecules moved faster so that the moisture can be easier to migrate in the environment ASABE Annual International Meeting Paper Page 4

The activation energy (Ea) for Ganoderma lucidum was kj/mol which can be calculated from the slope of the Arrhenius plot presented in Fig. 5. Some published Ea values of agricultural materials were presented in Table 3. It can be found that Ea for Ganoderma lucidum was similar with the Monukka seedless grape, higher than Carrot, coconut and green peas, lower than Pumpkin. The difference may come from that activation energy for drying process may effect by the components, variety, tissue structures of the samples, drying method and pretreatment ln D eff = /(T ) R 2 = lnd eff /(T ) ( 10 3 ) 2013 ASABE Annual International Meeting Paper Page 5

Non-linear regression was used to obtain each parameter value of every model. The Model parameters and statistical results including and R 2, χ2 and RSME is in table 4. For Ganoderma lucidum drying, the 10 drying models shown that statistical results were for R 2, for χ2 and for RSME. Compare with the 10 models, the modified Page have the higher R 2, lower χ 2 and RSME, so the modified page models can be used for predict and control the drying process. Polysaccharide content of the dried product Polysaccharide content (g/100g) Drying temperature ( o C) Fig. 6 Polysaccharide content of the dried Ganoderma lucidum at different drying temperature Polysaccharide content of the dried Ganoderma lucidum at different drying temperature is presented in Fig. 6. It was indicated that polysaccharide content was increased when the drying temperature was increased from 55 o C to 65 o C. However, it decreased when the drying temperature was in 70 o C. The polysaccharide content may be influenced by the peroxidase, temperature and drying time. In lower temperature of 55 o C, it need about 20 h to decreased moisture to the required moisture content, the polysaccharide content may degraded by the peroxidase in that long drying time. In the high temperature of 70 o C, although the drying time was short, the polysaccharide can be easily disintegrated in high temperature. So the highest polysaccharide content was obtained at air temperature of 65 o C ASABE Annual International Meeting Paper Page 7
9 Conclusion Ganoderma lucidum was dried in an air impingement dryer at the drying temperature of o C with a constant air velocity of 15 m/s. Drying temperature had a significant effect on drying time. The experimental drying curves showed only a falling rate period. The moisture effective diffusivity ranged from to m 2 /s calculated using the Fick s second law of diffusion. Activation energy for moisture diffusion of the Ganoderma lucidum samples was found to be kj/mol. The experimental results were fitted to 10 thinlayer drying models and it was found that modified Page models best described the drying curves.ganoderma lucidum samples dried at 65 o C revealed the highest polysaccharide content than dried at other temperatures. This research provides technical basis for applying the air impingement drying technology to Ganoderma lucidum drying.
