We derive some novel analytic solutions for fractional kinetic models with the help of Laplace transforms. We also provide comparative visual representations of the solutions through graphs, using kinetic data for soybean drying at temperatures of 50, 60, 70 and 80 \u00b0C. The comparative solutions derived from kinetic data reveal the fundamental symmetrical behavior of the drying process at different temperatures.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/sym17040483","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,24]],"date-time":"2025-03-24T13:48:20Z","timestamp":1742824100000},"page":"483","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Fractional Kinetic Models for Drying Using a Semi-Empirical Method in the Framework of Different Types of Kernels"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6290-2155","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ahu","family":"Ercan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics, Science Faculty, Firat University, 23119 Elazig, Turkey"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"427","DOI":"10.1021\/ie50137a021","article-title":"The rate of drying of solid materials","volume":"13","author":"Lewis","year":"1921","journal-title":"Ind.
