where V is the volume, m3; V0 is the initial volume, m3; M is the
moisture content, dry basis; M0 is the initial moisture content, dry
basis. Linear equation is very often used to describe the shrinkage
of agricultural products [55]. It turns out from the experiments that
temperature has no effect on the volumetric shrinkage of apple
cubes, which is in agreement with published results [7,26,56,57].
