Abstract

Dehydrating produce provides growers with an opportunity to utilize extra produce, and to extend the growing season with value-added products. We chose to explore solar dehydrators because many fresh market vegetable farmers have plots in rural areas that are not connected to electricity. While not as fast as an electric dehydrator, this solar dehydrator was able to bring jalepeño peppers to a stable dry weight in 3-4 days during the summer months if peppers were cut in half to allow moisture to evaporate.
