摘要

Beginning with harvesting, seeds are usually subjected to a series of processes which include drying for immediate or future use. Seed quality can be influenced by several factors during drying. This article presents a review of the seed air-drying process, including mathematical models based on differential equations derived from mass and energy balances for seeds and air in fixed and moving bed dryers. The article concludes with an overview of several potential drying technologies that can be applied to seeds.
