Postharvest processing of selected tropical crops using natural circulation solar dryer
Original language description
The goal of the study was to design a direct natural-circulation solar dryer, and compare its performance with the traditional open-to-sun drying in Pucallpa, Peruvian Amazon. The design of the dryer was made to suit the local farmer needs, as a small-scale home drying unit with a capacity from 3 kg to 8 kg in relations to the product being dried. The dryer was built from materials available on the local market, therefore making it possible to construct more units by the farmers themselves. A series ofseven tests were completed. The use of the dryer led to considerable drying time reduction and final product quality compared to the open-to-sun method. From the results obtained from the research it is possible to state that the use of a direct natural-circulation solar dryer is an appropriate technology for the preservation of some agricultural products in Pucallpa.
