The aim of the investigation was to study the drying characteristics of pineapple at different temperatures of 55, 60, 65, 70 and 75°C with 1.5 m/s constant air velocity. In the present study, the best drying model was selected to describe the drying behaviour, and to develop the moisture profile using COMSOL. Based on the best criteria, Verma et al. was chosen as the best fit to the experimental data. The predicted moisture ratio values obtained from COMSOL simulation and Verma et al. were good agreement with the experimental data.
