Abstract
Drying studies of cooked vice were carried out at temperatures from 16 0 degrees C to 240 degrees C. The moisture ratio (MR) was found to fol low the same pattern as grain drying. The drying parameters of Page's equation was determined to predict the course of moisture ratio with t ime. The empirical model predicted the behaviour of the drying system consistently.
