FRUITS AND VEGETABLES DEFICIENCY OF MOISTURE BY SOLAR AIR DRYING SYSTEM
Abstract
The oldest source of energy SUN is the most reliable mode of drying vegetables, dairy
products and cereals. But over the time with increased pollution to both the air and water, sun drying has been losing its ground. Solar drying provides a safe and reliable environment for drying the above mentioned products in a pristine and more controlled mode, and it also improves the quality of the dried products and its longevity.
The principle of this dryer is that, hot air is lighter than the cool air and it rises up the altitude. While raising this warm air comes in contact with the food slices and draws the moisture from it. The repeated cycle of this process makes it a very healthy, low cost long term investment.
