The 0.5, 0.7 and 0.9 cm thick slices of button mushrooms were pretreated with different preservatives such as 0.5 per cent citric acid, 0.5 per cent KMS and 0.75 per cent EDTA for 10 minutes. Pretreated slices were dehydrated in a tray dryer at 40, 45, 50 and 55 °C and their drying characteristics such as rate of drying, diffusion rate and re-hydration ratio were studied. The qualities of dehydrated slices were evaluated on the basis of veil opening and amino acid content. The samples dehydrated at 50 °C showed better quality. The moisture diffusivity during tray drying varied from 1.05 x 10-8 to 7.48 x 10-09 m2/s and increased with drying air temperature.
