Abstract: The estimation of thermophysical properties of the biological material can be performed by the comparison between the data from experiments and from a mathematical model. The model is based on the Fourier's law with appropriated initial and boundary conditions. The forward model was solved by an implicit time integration method and a central difference approach for the space variable, and a searching scheme of minimum residue. The resuslts suggests a radial depency for the thermal property. Therefore, a more precise estimation procedure of such property could be necessary.
