Fibrous material has only one falling period in its drying curve due to the nature of its structure. Fibers are composed of long slender elements that contain mostly air. As the material is heated this air is expelled from the fibers resulting in a decrease in the water content of the material. This is the first falling period in the drying curve. Once the air within the fibers has been expelled further drying is not possible resulting in a plateau in the drying curve. This plateau indicates that the material has reached its equilibrium moisture content. Since the equilibrium moisture content is independent of the drying temperature further drying will not result in any further decrease in the water content.

Formula for calculating drying rate?

Drying rate is not constant throughout the drying process. Drying rate generally decreases with the decrease of free moisture content. ( water in food is present in different forms; bound and unbound.Its easy to remove unbound moisture. In a drying curve, there's a constant rate drying period and a falling rate drying period. Depending on the equilibrium moisture content, critical moisture content and the final moisture content there are different formulas for calculating drying rates.
