Intermittent drying experiment using paddy rice of medium grain were carried out with drying temperatures ranging from 35 to 60℃,drying air velocities from 15 to 25 cm/s, drying phase duration from 5 to 15 minutes, and tempering phase duration of 40 to 120 minutes as drying variables. Each treatment of drying was assumed to take the commonly used exponential drying model of MR=A•exp(-kt).A pair of A, k values were derived through a first-step regression by fitting the drying data into the model. Onehundred and sixty-two pairs of A,k values were thus derived and fitted, with their corresponding levels of drying variables, into a pair of multivariate predictors for predicting A and k. These two predictors were found both to be functions of the above-mentioned four drying parameters. Their determination coefficients of correlation were 0.674 and 0.913, respectively.
