Jaggery is a traditional Indian sweetener prepared from sugarcane juice through evaporation process and considered as medicinal sugar due to its nutritional thereupatic properties. To improve the shelf-life of solid jaggery , making in form granules with moisture content 1–2% was recommended. A Polyhouse solar dryer for drying granular capacity 200 kg developed at Regional Agricultural Research...

Drying is an important agricultural process, particularly for crops, and shriveled products are used all over the world. The performance of drying green chili was also tested in this article, which created alternate way products. goal study to provide a solar biomass hybrid dryer with improved design, construction, testing. During most hours trial, temperature within collector sufficiently high...

in the present study, saffron was dried using a heat pump-assisted hybrid photovoltaic-thermal solar dryer. the effect of different drying air temperatures at three levels (40, 50, and 60oc) and two different modes of the dryer (with and without heat pump system) were investigated on drying behaviour of saffron. after collecting the pertinent data, eleven drying models were used to describe dry...

Solar dryer technology is simple and can be implemented by households small communities due to its simplicity. The suitable design of the absorber/collector very vital for any solar drying system as collector efficiency plays a key role in determining overall efficiency. To study practical applicability developed dryer, grapes were dried chamber designed comparison, open sunlight. Faster was no...
