Sun energy on natural drying of cucumber and radish

Abstract

Drying is a very basic process for reducing the moisture content of a material or product. It is the oldest technique used to extend the shelf life of a material or product. The idea is to dry in comparing cucumber and radish with the same thickness and shape of the sample. The result of the different samples, the operation time and temperature impact the drying kinetics. As the results of drying at open area and naturally gave the information have impacted the rate of drying. The type of sample with specific chemical compounds has a certain drying rate on a variation of temperature and operation time.
