In this paper, we present some aspects regarding boxthorn drying in a microwave field. This study has an applicative character, being useful in determining some parameters concerning the boxthorn drying, with extension possibility for other forest fruits. The results of the numerical modelling contribute to determining the drying time and the optimum drying power, respectively. We solved the coupled electromagnetic field with the thermal and mass field problem
