Optimization Of Solar Drying Parameters for Turmeric and Papaya Leaves: Effects on Nutritional and Bioactive Compound Retention
Abstract: This study focuses on the optimization of solar drying parameters for turmeric and papaya leaves, based on their impact on retention of nutritional and bioactive compounds. One of the most crucial postharvest procedures is solar drying as it decreases the moisture content in plant materials, thereby increasing shelf life and preserving quality. This study considers traditional methods as open sun drying (OSD) and advanced solar dry techniques, including Hybrid Indirect …
