Abstract :
This study employs the Firefly Algorithm (FA) to determine optimal parameter settings for the osmotic dehydration process of papaya. The functional formulation of the osmotic dehydration model is established using a response surface technique with the format of the resulting optimization model being a non-linear goal programming problem. For optimization purposes, a computationally efficient, FA-driven method is employed and the resulting solution for the osmotic process parameters is superior to those from previous approaches. The final component of this study provides a computational experimentation performed on the FA to illustrate the relative sensitivity of this nature-inspired metaheuristic approach over the range of two key parameters.
