Abstract

Onion slices of 3 mm thick were dried in an atmospheric batch tray dryer in order to investigate the influence of air temperature and drying time on parameters such as sample moisture content and drying rate. A model is proposed which takes into account both moisture and temperature distributions in the sample and is in a fair agreement with the experimental data. The models suggested so far by other workers take only the moisture distributions into account for onion drying.
