Shukur, M.M. (Agriculture and Water Resources Research Centre, Baghdad (Iraq). Dept. of Palms and Dates)
A quick review of relevant hypothesis proposed by experienced researchers together with advanced drying technology development is undertaken. Mincing prior to mixing proved to be more effective in drawing out more moisture upon subsequent drying. Air passage set-up has been illustrated. The temperature, pressure and duration are fixed at 70 deg. C, 50 mm Hg and 6h, respectively. It is recommended that moisture content ought to be expressed on dry weight basis. Practical purposes may require the fresh weight basis. However, in either case the basis must be specified
