The drying curves of Nephelium Lappaceum at different temperatures are shown in Figure 1. The drying
temperature significantly affected the drying rate of Nephelium Lappaceum. This finding is in agreement with those
obtained by Vega-Galvez et al. (2012), who studied the effect of temperature and air velocity on the drying kinetics
of apple slices, and found that the drying rate of apples increased with an increase in temperature. At high drying
temperatures, the drying rate is faster due to the excitation of molecules in the samples (Jamali et al., 2006). As the
temperature increases, water molecules inside the sample move faster, which increases the distance between
molecules and indirectly reduces the attractive forces between them. Thus, an increase in the drying temperature
increases the amount of moisture removed from the samples.
