The green chilli were washed and cut into 5-7 mm long pieces. This pieces were dried in dehumidified air dryer after pretreatments namely control, blanching and sulphitation (0.5 % of KMS). Green chilli dried in dehumidified air dryer from its initial moisture content 516.84-624.11 per cent (db) to final moisture content 8.61-9.85 per cent (db). The drying rate was faster in blanched samples as compared to other samples. The dehydration ratio was found to be less in control and sulphited sample as compared to blanched sample. The rehydration ratio of blanched sample was found to be lowest as compared to other sample. Green chilli dried in dehumidified air dryer was found to be better on the basis of sensory evaluation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
