Abstract
Drying is,
removing the water effect of distorting structure, from the food products with
the effect of heat. Direct sun drying, greenhouse drying and supported by solar
panel greenhouse combinations were done for drying vegetables. Eggplant,
cauliflower, leeks, broccoli were dried. Dry matter and water activity values
were measured for each of products on the systems of directly in the sun
drying, drying in the greenhouse, the panel + greenhouse. Improvements of the
conditions in the greenhouse and then with some modifications should be
established such as optimization of the air velocity is thought to be achieved
by faster drying.
