Abstract:
In this study, the author has purposed that Shrinkage of potato sheets was tested and studied at the temperatures of 60, 70 and 80ºC and air velocity (0.5- and 1 m/sec). In equal time intervals while drying, samples were photographed by the digital camera. Of taken photographs, body dimensions were obtained and analyzed. The results showed that drying of product was uniform at the temperature of 80ºC and had more desirable and marketable temperature than the other temperatures. The air velocity at the testing area did not leave any effect on the shrinkage of the product.

Key words:  Drying, drying velocity, elongation, potato sheet, shrinkage, ,
