The present study reports the results of laboratory scale experiments carried out to judge the drying characteristics of soybean at relatively high drying temperatures (110-130° C) and continued up to dehydration. A theoretical model similar to Page's model is offered and its validity is examined. Dehydration times of 16 h. 14 h and 12 h at 110, 120 and 130°c respectively were observed for soybeans having initial moisture content of 12.87 per cent d. b. The models developed were found to follow the theoretical model well. Generalised drying equation for prediction of drying rate and moisture content at any drying time and temperature conditions is proposed.
