Highlights
- The Page model best predicted the drying rates of mint leaves in thin-layer laboratory experiments under cyclical temperature change and in field experiments using open-air sun drying and Dehytray and Dehymeleon solar dryers.
- The total time for drying mint leaves with all solar drying methods was the same (48 h).
- For all drying methods, the aerobic bacterial count was significantly less on dried mint leaves than on fresh leaves.
- Color change was less impacted by sunlight with the Dehymeleon than with the Dehytray and open-air sun drying.
Abstract. The drying kinetics and quality attributes of mint leaves (Mentha spitaca) were studied to determine the drying performance of two solar drying technologies (Dehymeleon V.2 and Dehytray) and their effect on dried mint quality. Field drying experiments were carried out under weather conditions at Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana. Thin-layer …
