| The present study focused on the determination of suitable drying strategy for rural areas. Therefore, two different drying methods (greenhouse drier and open sun drying), pretreatment of plums with 1% NaOH solution and halving-pitting of plums were considered. Halved-pitted plums typically dried in 6 to 12 days in greenhouse drier. Drying time of halved plums under open atmosphere changed between 13 to 22 days. Whole plums decayed considerably before the completion of drying. Water soluble solid content and total titratable acid content of prunes ranged between 64 and 69.8%; 0.23% malic acid and 0.87% malic acid, respectively. Halving-pitting plums and the use of solar dryers (greenhouse drier in this research) are recommended for successful prune production in rural areas. |
