Specific heat of dehydrated pulps, which were obtained from 31 different fruits at several moisture contents, was determined by the indirect mixing method. Data are reported for each fruit. They confirm the application of linear functions, especially at moisture contents above 50%. an exponential regression equation for calculation of specific heat in the whole range of moisture content was established using all the values.
