A moving boundary model for food isothermal drying and shrinkage is applied to predict the time decay of water content and sample volume, as well as water diffusivity for chayote discoid slices in the temperature range 40–70°C. The core of the model is the shrinkage velocity , assumed equal to the water concentration gradient times a shrinkage function α representing the constitutive equation of the food material under investigation. The aim is to provide a case study to analyze and quantify differences and accuracies of two different approaches for determining the shrinkage function α from typical experimental data of moisture content vs. rescaled volume : a fully analytical approach and a shortcut numerical one.
