Purpose This paper presents advances in drying systems made through research and
development. The advances have borne novel technologies that have improved energy use …

This study investigated the drying behaviour of purple-speckled Cocoyam and the effect of
drying temperature (40° C, 60° C and 75° C), slice thickness (4 mm, 7 mm and 10 mm) and …

The shrinkage characteristic of porous materials is an important consideration in the drying
process, as it can significantly impact the texture of the dried product and energy utilization …

Coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) is an aromatic and nutritious herb but often wasted due
to limited processing. Drying is a common method for extending its shelf life. In the study …

In underdeveloped nations, rice is frequently harvested at a relatively high moisture content
and then dried under the open sun to a storage moisture content. However, direct UV …

The problem of malnutrition and nutrition deficiency, as well as droughts that lead to
reduction in food supply and starvation, is well documented for Sub-Saharan Africa …

The thin layer drying behaviour of groundnut was investigated under open sun drying (OSD)
and indoor forced convection drying (IFCD) modes. The groundnut samples were dried from …

The majority of the rural areas in developing countries are not connected to the electric grid.
Rice production produces a significant amount of rice husk as a byproduct/waste but this …

Field and laboratory experiments were conducted to determine the effect of different
compost formulations on yield, nutrient status, and possible heavy metal toxicity in roselle …

Aim: This work gives the reports on experimental study of the effects of drying on some
selected vegetables, namely fluted pumpkin (specimen I), spinach (specimen II), lettuce …
