Abstract:A mass-heater supplemented greenhouse dryer is shown to be an adaptable technology to post-harvest preservation problems in developing countries. Inadequate harvest preservation in these countries often leads to a cycle of bumper harvest and production cutbacks, famine, inability of famers to get their harvest to the market, low quality of exports, and low agro-processing. Drying is a preservation technique that is readily adaptable for developing countries, and the earliest form of this method, open air dryin… Show more
“…Akinjiola and Balachandran showed mass-heater supplemented greenhouse dryer an adjustable technology for post-harvest preservation problems in developing countries. It concluded that greenhouse dryer having the quality of its design and difficult designs were not always possible or cost effective [29]. Janjai studied the development and dissemination of greenhouse type solar dryer for small-scale dried food industries.…”
