Sultana is preferably the most dried grape variety around the world, but there is a need for candidates with different characteristics that can be grown in different conditions where the Sultana is not grown. In our study, the drying kinetics and quality properties of 5 different types of candidates that can be evaluated as raisins, obtained through breeding studies in Tekirdag Viticulture Research Institute, were examined. Among these candidate varieties, the 43*B-103 variety candidate, which is the second in sensory evaluation score and has the least drying time stands out. The bioactive component properties of two of the candidate varieties (40*D-17 and 40*D-160) were found better than Sultana, too. At the same time, these two grapes were dried in a shorter time than Sultana. Keywords : Raisin, candidate varieties, drying
