DocumentSIDS solutions innovations profile. Food processing: Hot air dryer (Solomon Islands)
SIDS Solutions Forum, 30-31 August 2021
2021Also available in:
No results found.As part of the SIDS Solutions Forum, 30-31 August 2021, FAO collected innovations and creative digital technologies that respond to local problems and challenges. This flyer presents a hot air dryer for roots and tubers. Local food losses are mainly due to poor infrastructure, power outages, extreme weather conditions, and high transport costs. Traditional processing and preservation are of limited value in extending the shelf life of food. The hot air dryer extends the shelf life of products. This technology supports farmers in fulfilling their consumption needs throughout the year, producing a surplus, and selling the extra to the market. This food processing technology has also helped extend value chains to urban centres and between islands. -

DocumentA solar dome dryer for drying of fish 1983
Also available in:
No results found.This paper presents the results, analysis, and discussion of four experimental trials conducted in Aden, comparing sun drying and solar dome drying of three species of fish. Solar dome drying is shown to be a realistic proposition compared with sun drying principally due to the very low losses achievable with solar dome drying. Technical feasibility of this methodology has been effectively demonstrated and should be supplemented by an economic feasibility evaluation. A description of the solar d ome dryer is also presented.
