Influences of Intermittent Drying on Local Fruits: The Case of Mangoes, Bananas, Potatoes, and Sweet Potatoes
Emmanuel Sidwaya Sawadogo, Salmwendé Eloi Tiendrebeogo, Guy Christian Tubreoumya, Zoungrana Windnigda, André Luc Batiana, Desiré Zerbo
In the context of promoting local agricultural products in the face of significant post-harvest losses in West Africa, optimizing drying methods is a key challenge. This research explores the impact of various intermittent drying regimes applied to four fresh products, namely mangoes (Mangifera indica), bananas (Musa sapientum), potatoes (Sola(...)
