Empirical models for studying and predicting the drying rate and qualities of pretreated red bell pepper (vitamin A, vitamin C, ash content, water loss and solid gain) were developed. Adequacy and validity tests done on the models gave reliable and satisfactory results. Optimization of the process gives the favourable combination of process parameters that maximize or minimize the output parameters.
