AB -  Mass transfer in highly porous and hemispherically shaped bodies was approached using a diffusional model. The drying kinetics of broccoli florets were investigated and the influence of air velocity and temperature determined. A threshold air velocity of 2.5 m/s was established over which no increase in the drying rate was observed, indicating that internal resistance controls mass transfer at higher velocities. The influence of temperature on drying was interpreted by the Arrhenius relationship. The activation energy obtained was 18.5 kJ/mol.
