The present study quantifies the drying kinetics of green banana during mechanical dehydration. Theeffect of loading density (sample thickness) and the temperature on the drying rate constant and dryingtime were investigated and quantified. Drying rate increased with increasing temperature but decreasedwith increase in loading density. The values of exponent ‘n’ of the two parameters power law modeldescribing the drying rate constant (as a function of thickness) were less than 2 which indicated thepresence of significant external resistance to mass transfer despite the dominance of internal masstransfer resistance. Investigation with three drying air temperatures (55, 60 and 65oC) at constant airvelocity (0.6 m/sec) resulted that the increase in drying air temperature increased the drying process. The moisture diffusivity values were 1.25×10-10, 1.67×10-10 and 2.19×10-10 m2/sec at 55, 60 and 65oCrespectively. The activation energy (Ea) indicating the temperature dependence of the diffusivity was51.21 KJ/mole obtained using Arrhenius model. Mixing of green banana flour in the potato chipsformulation enhanced the fiber and mineral content in the product
