In the present research, seven well- known mathematical thinlayer drying models were fitted to mushroom ( Agaricus bisporus) drying experimental data, implementing nonlinear regression analysis techniques. The experiments were conducted in two laboratoryscale dryers. A range of temperatures 50 - 65 degrees C and air velocities 1.0 - 5.0 m/ s were tested. The statistical analysis concluded that the best model in terms of fitting performance was the logarithmic model. Correlations expressing this model parameter dependence with the drying air coefficients are also reported.
