This document summarizes research on modeling the thermal kinetics of thin layer drying of Indian gooseberry (aonla) flakes. Experiments were conducted drying aonla flakes at air velocities of 0.48m/s, temperatures ranging from 40-75°C, and relative humidity of 35%. Moisture content was measured periodically to calculate moisture ratios. Various drying models (Newton, Page, Modified Page) were evaluated based on their ability to predict experimental moisture values using statistical measures like RMSE, chi-square, and efficiency. The Modified Page model with an exponent of 1 provided the best fit to experimental data with minimum RMSE and chi-square values and maximum efficiency. Correlations were developed between drying coefficient (k) and shape
