【 摘 要 】

Problem statement: The thin- layer drying experiments were conducted to examine the effect of drying air temperature and humidity on the drying kinetics. Approach: A model to estimate the drying behavior of Lemon grass was developed). Results: Four different thin-layer drying models were compared with respect to their coefficient of determination (R²), Mean Bias Error (MBE) and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE). The one with highest (R²) and lowest (MBE) and (RMSE) was selected to better estimate the drying curves. Three temperatures (35, 45 and 55
