The drying curves of pullulan, alginate, and blend films at 40, 50 and 60°C were investigated using gravimetric methods. Several mathematical models available in the literature were fitted to the experimental data. The Midilli- Kucuk model satisfactorily described drying kinetics of tested films with the highest R2 and the lowest RMSE, SSE values. For the pullulan-alginate samples, the drying rate increased monotonically with the increasing drying temperature and alginate content of resulting films. However, the heat and mass transfer coeffici...
