Abstract

The paper analyzes the varieties of apples; Cripps Pink, Granny Smith, Jonagold, Idared, Golden Delicious and Braeburn for the purpose of amenities of fruits for drying. The research results, or polynomial equation of drying curve, indicate that some apple varieties suitable for the production of apple chips (Cripps Pink, Golden Delicious, Idared). In order to preserve the quality of slips (chips) and reduce costs, it is necessary to divide the drying process in several stages. Preparing for apple chips is getting quite challenging, which directly affects the cost, so it is necessary that the preparatory phase is maximally mechanize.
