Journal ArticleDOI
Solar drying - an effective means of food preservation
A. Esper,W. Mühlbauer +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors have shown that solar drying can be an effective means of food preservation since the product is completely protected during drying against rain, dust, insects and animals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantitative determination of beta-carotene stereoisomers in fresh, dried, and solar-dried mangoes (Mangifera indica L.).
TL;DR: In this article, a rapid method for quantitative determination of beta-carotene, including cis-isomers, in dried mango has been developed, based on the extraction of carotenoids from dried mango mesocarp using a mixture of methanol and acetone/hexane, allowing the separation of disturbing fibers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental investigation of the performance of the solar tunnel dryer for drying bananas
TL;DR: In this article, a multi-purpose solar tunnel dryer was used to dry bananas under the hot and humid weather conditions of Thailand in order to investigate its performance, and seven drying tests were conducted at the Royal Chitralada Projects in Bangkok during March-May 1995.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quality improvement of non-sulphited mango slices by drying at high temperatures
TL;DR: An optimum drying procedure for producing non-sulphited mango slices has been developed in this paper, where the interaction of essential drying parameters (air temperature, air velocity, dew point, slice thickness and drying time) on water activity and browning was determined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Drying characteristics of copra and quality of copra and coconut oil
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of drying air temperature up to 100°C and position of halved dehusked coconuts with respect to the direction of the air stream were investigated at constant air velocity of 0.5 m s−1 and tropical dew point temperature of 25°C so that good quality copra and coconut oil were produced at the shortest drying time.
