Experimental Verification of Yam (Dioscorea rotundata) Drying with Solar Adsorption Drying [PDF]
Applied Sciences, 2019 This work evaluates the yam (Dioscorea rotundata) drying performance of solar adsorption drying (SAD) compared to solar drying (SD) and open sun drying (OSD). The evaluation concerns the drying cycle for batches of yam, the effect on vitamin C, color and composition. As SAD can be applied during the night, by using air dehumidified by passing through a
