The objective of this research was to predict drying behavior of hot air drying using an empirical model (EM) and an artificial neural network model (ANN). Rubber sheet with initial moisture content ranging of 23-40% dry-basis was dried by temperature ranging of 40-70°C and air flow rate of 0.7 m/s. The desired final moisture content was set at 0.15% dry-basis. The results showed that drying rate of rubber sheet dried with hot air convection was faster than conventional natural aeration. The EM and ANN were simulated to describe the drying behavior of products. Furthermore, prediction results between EM and ANN were compared with the experimental data. In this research, it was obviously found that ANN can describe the drying behavior effectively. Additionally, it was also found that predicted results of Multilayer feed forward Levenberg-Maqurdt’s Back-propagation ANN were good agreement with the experimental results compared to those results of EM. It is the optimum architecture for prediction the evolution of moisture transfer for hot air drying.

In this paper, hot air drying (HAD) was applied when moisture content of apple slices range from 50% to 86%, and then vacuum-filling nitrogen drying (VFND) was used till moisture content reaching 7%. Results showed that, the drying rate of apple slice during VFND period increased with temperature increment and decreased with increment of slice thickness; compared to freezing dried samples,  samples dried in this research were owned lower Vc and higher flavonoid; when HAD (70℃,3.0m/s)+VFND(relative pressure 0.08MPa, 50℃) and thickness of 6.0mm, nutrients reached better levels: retentions of Vc, total phenolics and flavonoid were 1.63mg/100g, 4.07mg/100g and 2.10mg/100g, respectively. Keywords: apple slices, hot air drying, vacuum-filling nitrogen drying, drying rate, nutrients

Organic dried apples are common snacks fulfilling functional as well as nutritional aspects. However, appearance of dried slices does not always satisfy consumer requirements, thus, improvements are needed. In this study, partial least squares (PLS) regression models were successfully developed to monitor changes in colour and moisture content in apple slices during the drying process over the Vis/NIR spectral range. The regression vector analysis results suggested that features at 580, 750 and 970 nm are better for predicting moisture content, while 580 and 680 nm allow to measure the (a*/b*) colour ratio.   Keywords: Drying; Dried apple slices; Moisture content; Colour; PLSR modelling
