Solar radiation impact on drying parameters of mint (Mentha spicata L.)

This paper presents a kinetic study of solar dehydrated mint (Mentha spicata L.) with no prior treatment. The drying kinetics leaves dried in Domestic Solar Dryer terms colour attribute, moisture content, time, non enzymatic browning, water activity, rehydration ratio were calculated. is very useful for household scale to optimize process and achieve superior quality product at home maintaining its aroma without incurring huge cost.
