In this study, the sun drying behavior of cornelian cherry fruits was investigated. The drying rate curve
of cornelian cherry was shown that the drying process took place in the falling rate period. Twelve thinlayer mathematical models were used for explaining the thin layer drying kinetics of cornelian cherry.
The approximation of diffusion model was found to be the most appropriate model for the process. The
Fick’s diffusion model was used to calculate the effective moisture diffusion coefficients (Deff) of
cornelian cherry. The value of Deff was obtained as 1.20x10-11 m2/s. The vitamin C degradation of dried
cornelian cherry was determined as about 51.1%.
