Thermal conductivity values of white bread were determined during heat processing to provide information for analytical modeling required during convective heat and mass transfer of the baking process. Selected physical properties of bread were determined: moisture, volume, bulk density and porosity. White bread was baked in a forced‐air convection oven for 8, 16, 24 and 32 min. Thermal conductivity values ranged from 0.00072–0.00064 watts/cm‐°C. Although a downward trend was observed and explained, no significant differences were revealed among thermal conductivity values. Thermal conductivity values were indirectly linearly dependent (p>0.05) on volume and porosity; directly, to bulk density and moisture loss.
