on the drying kinetics and the degree of moisture
evaporation from Hass avocado seeds. The drying experiments of the non-pretreated and pretreated
(sliced and crushed) Hass avocado seeds were performed in a heating furnace, where the pretreatment
process was found to accelerate the drying process. The obtained results suggested that increase in the
operating air temperature stimulated the rate of moisture evaporation
