The objective of this paper is to examine the effects of certain factors of osmotic drying on physical properties of quince. Leskovačka cultivar of quince, prepared in a form of quarters, was used for osmotic drying. The experiment was conducted as a free-factor experiment. The experiment factors were solution temperature, solution concentration and the duration of the process. The solution concentration varied having the values of 50 deg Bx and 65 deg Bx, the temperature had the values of 40 deg C and 60 deg C, while the drying time was 100 and 180 minutes. The effects of these factors on the changes of length, moisture content and volume of quince samples were investigated.
