This study quantifies the drying characteristics and quality attributes of culinary banana at various temperatures (40–70°C) which exhibited falling rate period. Among the different drying models, Wang and Singh model was found the best fitted model with lowest Ӽ 2  and highest  R  2  values. The coefficients of Wang and Singh model were expressed in nonlinear form as a function of temperature and a new model was developed in which moisture ratio is expressed as a function of time and temperature. Effective moisture diffusivity increased with increase in drying temperature. Scanning electron micrographs showed that samples dried at 70°C produced larger pores which resulted in better rehydration ratio and minimum hardness. The nonenzymatic browning occurred faster at 70°C and in addition, the chemical properties were not significantly affected by drying temperatures.
