Based on a review of 71 relevant publications all dealing with control aspects in drying, this paper aims to promote more works in common between drying and control communities. First, it is shown that the use of control tools really started to emerge in drying applications only since 1979. In a second phase started around 1998, new trends based on more advanced concepts have also appeared in drying control. It is underlined how control in drying is more and more a reality and that many opportunities exist to enhance industrial drying performance via efficient control of the operation.
