Passive solar dryers integrated with thermal energy storage (TES) materials can reduce the intermittent drying of agricultural products, improve the drying efficiency, and reduce the drying time. (15) TES materials store thermal energy during the day when there is enough solar energy and discharge it when sunlight is unavailable, …
1. Bacteria, fungi and yeast These are microbes that normally live in the agricultural martial, they cause destruction to agric produce, so we need to stop their action in-other to have our produce safe. 2. Insect and mice In designing and construction of storage structures, we need to design and guide against it. 3.
Indirect Solar Dryer: Granny Smith apples. In an indirect type natural convection solar-dryer, Granny Smith apples of 1 kg are dehydrated for 8–10 h at 45.5 O C to 50.5 O C, with a final moisture content of 5%. Small farms can use an indirect solar drier, which produces high-quality products even in adverse weather.
There are the following methods for storage and preservation of agricultural products. 1. Refrigeration. Low temperature can reduce the respiratory intensity of agricultural products, reduce water loss, and inhibit the growth of microorganisms. And it can delay the activity of microorganisms and inhibit the activity of …
2.1. Direct solar dryers. Drying of agricultural and marine products is one of the most attractive and cost-effective application of solar energy. Numerous types of solar dryers had been designed and developed in various parts of the world, yielding varying degrees of technical performance.
