Conteúdo: | A solar tunnel dryer was tested in Egypt for drying grapes, okra, tomatoes potatoes, onions, basil and wild marjoram. The capacity of the dryer ranged between 100 and 200 kg of fresh material per day. The consumption of electric energy for operating the dryer in most cases was about 0.1 kWh per kg of dried material. An organoleptic evaluation gave results between good and excellent for all dried samples with the exception of tomatoes. The total microbial count of the different crops, except onions and tomatoes, was diminished by factor 10 and more by solar drying. The reconstituition properties of the dried samples were sufficient.
