tailieunhanh - Development of low cost solar rack dryer and comparative biochemical quality evaluation of anchovies (Stolephorus commersonii) dried in sun and solar rack dryer

A low cost solar rack dryer was fabricated with an aim to popularise hygienic drying of fish among fisherwomen and it was evaluated for drying of Anchovy (Stolephorus commersonii) at Central Institute for Women in Agriculture, Bhubaneswar, Odisha. It was observed that on an average the solar dryer attained % higher temperature than the ambient temperature. Within a total drying time of 13 h, the moisture content of the fish reduced from about to and by the solar rack dryer and open sun drying respectively. | Development of low cost solar rack dryer and comparative biochemical quality evaluation of anchovies (Stolephorus commersonii) dried in sun and solar rack dryer
