3. Introduction Basic principles: 3 Introduction of Project Past work done on the project The principle of the solar drying technique is to collect solar energy by heating-up the air volume in solar collectors and conduct the hot air from the collector to an attached enclosure, the meat drying chamber . There is no direct impact of solar radiation (sunshine) on the product. Working principles: Converting light to heat Converting light to heat Trapping heat Moving the heat to the food

5. AVISHKAR-2020, ZCOER,Pune. 5 Nearly 30% of the fruits and vegetables in India are wasted due to lack of food processing units. The opportunity for skill development of rural women and youth in processing of fruits and vegetables in clean and hygienic conditions producing highly nutritive products. Drying of fruits and vegetables offers a challenging task due to different structural characteristics of these products. The removal of water from these products must be accomplished the physio-chemical properties and quality of the dried products Problem Statement
