#### Abstract

This study was performed to examine the drying characteristics of apples at various drying conditions. Air velocity has no effect on the drying rate except the constant rate period. In this experiment the diffusion coefficients of moisture in the apple tissue were in the range of $1.1470-2.2148{\times}10cm^2/sec$. As a result of balance of heat and mass transfer during the falling rate period. an empirical equation based on Fick's law was obtained as follows; $log{\Delta}t\;=\;log\;t_o\;-\;D{\frac{{\pi}^2{\theta}}{4d.}}$ This equation can be used to calculate the temperature of apples during the falling rate period, provided the diffusion coefficients of apple are known. The experimental values of the internal moisture distribution during apple dehydration were nearly in accord with the theoretical values.
