Determining Optimal Osmotic Dehydration Process Parameters for Papaya: A Parametric Testing of the Firefly Algorithm for Goal Programming Optimization
Journal Title: Scientia Agriculturae - Year 2015, Vol 10, Issue 3
Abstract
The Firefly Algorithm (FA) is employed to determine the optimal parameter settings in a case study of the osmotic dehydration process of papayas. In the case, the functional form of the dehydration model is established through a response surface technique and the resulting mathematical programming is formulated as a non-linear goal programming model. For optimization purposes, a computationally efficient, FA-driven method is used and the resulting optimal process parameters are shown to be superior to those from previous approaches. The final section of this study provides an extensive computational experimentation performed on the FA to analyze its relative sensitivity over a range of the two key parameters that most influence its running time.
