Sustainable Food Drying Techniques in Developing Countries: Prospects and Challenges

Abstract

A universal solution for food waste may not be practical as it is related to a complex mixture of economic inequality, policy failure, and lack of awareness. On the other hand, energy costs are steadily rising. Therefore, only through sustainable renewable drying technologies the crisis of food waste can be ameliorated. The high energy requirement of drying is one of the most predominant challenges towards achieving food security and economic sustainability. Therefore, this chapter proposes some improved drying techniques that can operate on renewable energy. Extensive discussion is done on their working principle, efficiency, effectiveness, and the quality of the dried product. The chapter starts by classifying the drying technologies to put the entire drying practice into perspective. Then the chapter introduces ten sustainable drying technologies for developing countries. Feasibility analysis was performed on the drying techniques which are currently in development stage. Each developing country has its unique energy economy and geographical features. Therefore, an in-depth analytical comparison among all the proposed dryers were made at the end of the chapter.
