The research involved the analysis of the quality of “Justynka” variety pumpkin, dried at temperatures from 40°C to 80°C, after long-term storage. The quality of dried pumpkin was assessed based on the content of total and reducing sugar, lutein, lycopene, and β-carotene. Tests were conducted to determine the content of these substances in the samples dried with different methods; i.e., in natural and forced convection in the tunnel dryer, with the drying agent speed of 1.2 m/s, and with the two-stage method. It has been concluded that the quality of the product depends on drying time and air flow.
