Al-Hamdani A, Jayasuriya H, Pathare PB, Al-Attabi Z. Drying Characteristics and Quality Analysis of Medicinal Herbs Dried by an Indirect Solar Dryer. Foods 2022; 11:4103. [PMID: 36553845 PMCID: PMC9777633 DOI: 10.3390/foods11244103] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/18/2022] [Revised: 12/14/2022] [Accepted: 12/15/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Considering the solar radiation status in Oman, a low-cost, indirect, stand-alone, forced-convective solar dryer was developed to dry medicinal herbs, which are sensitive to direct sun. The hot air flow was obtained using a solar-panel-powered blower and air passing through a black-body solar collector. This drying process could extend the shelf life of herbs while preserving their medicinal and nutritional (physicochemical) properties and adhering to food safety and hygiene practices. This study investigated the benefits of an indirect solar drying technique on the retention of quality attributes of mint and basil used in medicinal applications. Herbs used during drying could be subjected to changes in their physicochemical properties such as color, water activity (Aw), total soluble solids (TSS), phenol content, antioxidant capacity, and moisture content (MC), and, thus, results were compared with fresh herb samples. The dryer chamber-maintained temperature and relative humidity regimes of 30-50 °C and 21-95% and the expected final moisture content (wet basis) was 10%. The dryer showed improved physicochemical quality parameters and the retention of green color with parameter ranges of Aw 0.44-0.63, phenol content (increase) 1705-8994 mg/100 g DM, and antioxidant capacity (increase) 0.61-0.67 µmol/g DM, respectively. This study showed the ability of developed solar dryers to preserve the physicochemical properties of medicinal herbs during drying and can extend to other food products.

Abstract
In this work, the kinetics of drying and rehydration of green apple slices peeled and unpeeled (Granny Smith cv) were studied. The apple slices were dried at 50, 60, and 70 °C, and after that, rehydrated at ambient (Ta) and boiling temperature (Tb). The drying kinetics were adjusted with the Dincer and Dost model, giving a good fit. Effective diffusivity (Deff) and the convective mass transfer coefficient (hm) were also determined, both coefficients increase with drying temperature, being 1.25 × 10-9 m2 s-1 and 9.53 × 10-7 m2 s-1 the highest values obtained for the peeled apple slices respectively. Peleg and Weibull models were adjusted to the rehydration experimental data obtaining a good fit (R2 > 0.99). Deff values increase significantly with rehydration temperature but take similar values between peeled and unpeeled samples. Acidity, pH, moisture content, solid soluble content, and equivalent diameter were determined to compare the fresh apple slices with those after dehydration and the post-rehydration process. The apple slices rehydrated at boiling temperature better preserved the characteristics of fresh samples due to the short immersion times in water, no significant differences were observed between peeled and unpeeled apples. According to the results, it is convenient to dry the apple slices unpeeled at 70 °C and rehydrate them at Tb.

Abstract
Four mango fruit varieties of average slice thickness 0.6 cm and slice area 10 cm2 were dried using a mechanical dryer at varied temperatures, 55°C, 65°C, and 75°C. In general, the moisture content (MC) for all samples analyzed decreased with increasing drying time. Palmer and Haden varieties recorded the lowest MCs of 8.7% (w.b.) and 9.3% (w.b.), respectively, when dried for 14 h at 65°C. Palmer variety with the highest initial MC of 87.2% (w.b.) recorded a low final MC of 8.7% (w.b.) when dried for 14 h at 55°C. Moisture ratio decreased from 1.00 to 0.13, 1.00 to 0.12, 1.00 to 0.12, and 1.00 to 0.10 at 55°C for Kent, Keitt, Haden, and Palmer varieties, respectively. Kent, Keitt, Haden, and Palmer varieties recorded effective moisture diffusivity values of
,
,
, and
, respectively. Vitamin C content of 158.34 mg/100 g recorded for Palmer was highest compared to the other varieties. Activation energy values of samples analyzed were between 19.90 and 25.50 kJ/mol for the drying temperature range. The activation energy recorded by Haden variety was highest compared to the rest. Also, twelve mathematical models were analyzed in predicting the moisture ratio of mango fruit slices during thin layer drying. The results showed that the Midilli, Page, Wang and Singh, and Logarithmic models exhibited supremacy in predicting drying behavior compared to the other eight models.
