Abstract
Thin-layer drying rates of rapeseed were experimentally determined at eight levels of drying air temperature, four in the conventional dryin g temperature range of 50-93-degrees-C and four in the elevated temper ature range of up to 200-degrees-C. A mathematical model of the form o f Page's equation was developed. The model predicted the moisture rati os well at the conventional as well as elevated drying temperatures.
