Study of the solar drying of grapes by three different processes
The objective of this work is to analyse the drying of the Sultanine grape variety by three different solar processes. Three drying kinetics have been established respectively in a natural convection solar drier, under a tunnel greenhouse and in open sun. These tests show that the solar tunnel greenhouse drying is satisfactory and competitive to a natural convection solar drying process.
