Abstract: This study explores the thermodynamic characteristics of convectively dried Cobra 26 F1 tomatoes at various temperatures and after different thermal pre-treatments. Employing Multi-gene Genetic Programming (MGGP), the refined model accurately predicts energy utilization (EU), energy utilization ratio (EUR), exergy loss (ExLoss), and exergy efficiency (ExEff). The MGGP model, structured with 100 populations, 150 generations, and 4 trees, demonstrated superior performance, with R2 values of 0.9155, 0.9116, 0.9756, and 0.9736 for EU, EUR, ExLoss, and ExEff, respectively. The model was successfully deployed to a graphic user interface (GUI), achieving high accuracy rates of 99.97-99.99% when tested on randomly selected drying conditions. Monte Carlo simulation was employed to assess the sensitivity of thermodynamic characteristics to drying factors, revealing significant influences of temperature, time, and pre-treatment variations. The results indicate the EU, EUR, ExLoss, and ExEff responses to temperature, time, and pre-treatment changes, providing valuable insights for sustainable process design, management, control, and commercialization of dried Cobra 26 F1 tomato production. Overall, this research contributes essential knowledge for enhancing the efficiency and sustainability of dried food production processes.
