Abstract” Solar Food: Reducing post-harvest losses through improved solar drying” is a
project that is a collaboration between Lund University and the Royal University of Bhutan …

Bhutan is the world's most mountainous country which comes with some logistical
difficulties. Due to slow transportation times and lackluster food preservation are the post …

In many countries of the world, the use of solar thermal systems in the agricultural area to
conserve vegetables, fruits, coffee and other crops has shown to be practical, economical …

Solar energy is free but not cheap. That thought has driven research at Nong-Lam University
to design, fabricate, and test mechanical dryers of different capacities, using solar energy as …

The ongoing search for alternate energy sources was spurred by the unpredictable rise and
periodic scarcity of fossil fuel. One of the clean and renewable energy sources that has …

Food insecurity has proven to be a significant problem in many developing countries, which
in some cases occurs due to the lack of adequate methods of preserving foods for longer …

Highlights What are the main findings? Using low-cost and reused materials it is possible to
design and construct clean and cheap solar dryer prototypes; Drying kinetics in different …

Africa has a very high solar insolation and a large agrarian sector with a lot of drying of
agricultural products carried out with mostly open sun drying. However, efforts have been …

The lack of adequate techniques for food processing is among the reasons underlying food
losses and high levels of hunger in Sub-Saharan Africa; the application of solar energy to …

Solar drying is one of the many ways of efficiently making use of solar energy to meet the
human demand for improved sustainability. In this study, we describe the construction and …
