The physical phenomena that control moisture loss from high moisture commodities are discussed. The internal processes and the external air boundary layer effects are considered, together with the interaction between heat and moisture transfer. Existing data are reviewed in the light of this discussion. It is concluded that the effects of air velocity and temperature gradients need further attention in the case of high transpiration crops. In the cooling process, the transient cooling and dynamic equilibrium storage phases are identified. It is suggested that it may be useful to separate these, both for analytical purposes and in the extension of the work to commercial storage.
