In this study, the author has purposed that Shrinkage of potato sheets was tested and studied at the
temperatures of 60, 70 and 80ºC and air velocity (0.5- and 1 m/sec). In equal time intervals while drying,
samples were photographed by the digital camera. Of taken photographs, body dimensions were obtained and
analyzed. The results showed that drying of product was uniform at the temperature of 80ºC and had more
desirable and marketable temperature than the other temperatures. The air velocity at the testing area did not
leave any effect on the shrinkage of the product.
Key words: Drying, drying velocity, elongation, potato sheet, shrinkage, ,
