Abstract

The study examines far-infrared vacuum-drying kinetics and colour changes in apple slices. Experimental drying data were compared using four established thin-layer models and a newly developed Mitrevski model, which demonstrated the best statistical performance. The calculated moisture diffusivity ranged from 2.80×10−112.80 times 10^{-11} to 1.70×10−10 m2/s1.70 times 10^{-10},text{m}^2/text{s}. Increasing the infrared-heater temperature and vacuum pressure negatively affected the total colour change of the dried apple slices.
