ABSTRACT A kinetic model representing ascorbic acid degradation in potatoes as a function of moisture content and temperature was used to find optimal dryer‐temperature control paths for minimizing ascorbic acid loss during air drying of potato disks. Optimal dryer‐temperature control was also determined for minimizing drying time given a specified minimum retention of ascorbic acid. Constraints were placed on the final moisture content and the air temperature. Optimization was achieved using a simulation‐optimization approach based on the complex method.
