Investigation on drying kinetics analysis of gooseberry slices dried under open sun
An experimental analysis of the drying behaviour of gooseberry slices dried in the open sun is described in this article. Gooseberries brought from the local market were cut approximately semi-circular in cross-section, with an average length of 20–25 mm
