Meat drying in a hot and humid climate using convection type solar dryers

1993

English

Two-types of solar dryer were examined for use in the drying of meat strips under hot, humid climate conditions. The solar cabinet dryer proved to be more effective than the solar tent dryer in the rate of moisture reduction. Long raw material preparation time resulted in the poor intergration of samples into the first drying cycle. Pretreatment of the strips by immersion in 5% sodium chloride solution conferred no advantage in drying rate.
