Dried turmeric flour quality is influenced by several factors such as drying temperature and turmeric slice thickness. Optimal conditions for temperature and slice thickness can be achieved by optimizing the process through simulation and mathematical modelling. The method that can be used for these needs is Response Surface Methodology (RSM), which is able to provide an overview of the relationship between independent variables and the observed response in order to obtain optimal information from each independent variable that affects the response. In this study, the objective responses include moisture content, curcumin content, ash content and water activity. The aim of this study is to determine the ideal conditions - including temperature and slice thickness - to maintain the quality of turmeric that has been dried..........
