Drying is one of the most significant method in food preservation. This study was conducted to investigate mathematical models of thin layer drying of apple slices. The kinetic of thin layer drying of apple slices was experimentally investigated in a hot air convective dryer. Crank solution for difusion in slab model and Lewis model for drying in thin layer were used to predict the drying profile. Drying characteristic of apple slices were determined using ambient air at 50 oC and 0,4167 m/s linier velocity. The result showed that Lewis model was more convenient for short-period drying, whereas the Crank solution model was more appropiate for long- periode drying.

This paper aims to investigate the effect of climate conditions such as ambient temperature, humidity, pressure, sun radiation and pollution on sliced apples quality and drying time which are dried in an indirect forced cabinet solar drying (IFCSD) and open sun drying (OSD) systems. Both experiments were implemented at same place (Kabul, Afghanistan) and time. The IFCSD yield for saving time is 42.8 % which is more effective than drying in the OSD system. Simultaneously with the decreasing of sliced apple weight from 512.9 g down to 73.9 g, the water activity decreased from 0.955 down to 0.355 in the IFCSD system. For OSD system, the sample weight decreased from 512.6 g down to 78.4 g and its water activity from 0.955 down to 0.411. On the experiment day the average sun radiation was 571 w/m2 . The pressure drop between inlet and outlet of the dryer was 0.1 kPa. Different thin-layer mathematical models were investigated to identify the best model fitting the experimental data. The mathematical models’ performances were investigated by comparing the coefficient of determination (R 2 ), reduced chi-square (X2 ) and root mean square error (RMSE) coefficients. From all 11 applied thin-layer drying models the Page, Approximation diffusion, Verma et al and Midilli and Kacuk models are more fitted to our data.

In the present research, experimental data from several studies about drying behavior of mushrooms have been selected and used to compare different drying methods and different mathematical thin layer drying models to simulate mushroom drying rates. The white button (Agaricus Bisporus), the oyster (Pleurotus Ostreatus) and the milky mushroom slices have been considered for drying in different dryers such as hot air cabinet dryer and fluidized bed dryer with different slice thicknesses, drying air temperatures (45 °C to 90 °C) and drying air velocities (0.2 m/s to 5 m/s). The entire drying process has taken place in the falling rate period, assuming that internal mass transfer occurred by diffusion in mushroom slices. The study shows that the drying air temperature and the drying air velocity have an effect on the moisture removal from mushrooms and also on the drying time. Mathematical models have been proved to be useful for design and analysis of heat and mass transfer during drying processes. All the drying models considered in this study could adequately represent the thin layer drying behavior of mushrooms. Furthermore, as it is obvious, any type of mushrooms has its own most suitable model.

The study is aimed experimentally and compared with the theoretical results of drying kinetics of Nagpur orange fruit dried in a hot air electrical dryer. Orange fruit is highly perishable and needs to be consumed or processed immediately after harvest. Drying or dehydration is one of the most practical methods of preserving food products. Therefore, thin layer drying characteristics of falling rate of Nagpur orange are determined experimentally under different conditions of drying air temperatures, relative humidity and air velocities for different moisture contents. Thin layer models like Wang and Singh, Page and Henderson have been compared with Experimental results. The knowledge of drying kinetics helps for identification of exact drying time and air flow velocity for different moisture content. Here drying operation is carried out at a velocity of 1m/sec and 1.25 m/sec for different temperature of 55°C, 65°C and 75°C. This analysis reveals that drying temperature has a more significant effect on moisture removal while velocity has the least effect. Drying rate is found to increase with the increase in drying temperature and reduce with drying time. Experimental data is statistically correlated by plotting the drying characteristics curve. The analysis reveals that Wang and Singh's model is a better model to explain the drying behavior of Nagpur Orange fruit (R2=0.9888).

Drying results, determined on samples made of masonry clay from the locality "Banatski Karlovac", are presented in this study. Experimental investigations were carried out in a laboratory recirculation dryer in which drying parameters (humidity, temperature, and velocity) could be programmed, controlled and monitored during drying process. Several mathematical models were used for drying process modelling. New semi-theoretical thin layer drying model, for heavy clay products, was developed and presented in this study. It represents a modification of Page's and logarithm's thin layer drying models. Results presented in this study have shown that new thin layer drying model describes and correlates the best experimentally determined drying process.

Fruit and vegetable dehydration has been extensively studied for the improvement of food preservation. Effects of drying temperature on the drying kinetics of thyme were investigated and a suitable drying model was obtained to describe the drying process. Drying behaviour of thyme leaves at temperatures of 50, 60, 70 and 80°C was determined by using a conventional drying oven, and moisture ratio and drying rates were calculated. Four different thin layer drying models, namely Lewis, Henderson and Pabis, Page, and logarithmic models, were used to fit the experimental moisture ratio data. Three statistical parameters: coefficient of determination (R<sup>2</sup>), chi-square (χ<sup>2</sup>) and root mean square error (RMSE) were used to compare the goodness of fit of the drying models. Logarithmic model and Page model give the best description of the drying process kinetics of thyme leaves by comparing the experimental values and predicted values.
