In the present work a diffusion based model was adopted to represent the drying behaviour of pears in a continuous convective drier, taking into consideration the variation of the properties of the pears along drying. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/B6TY8-4N5TN44-8/1/bbea80bec199264414c970bd6e95ab4c
