ENERGY SAVING STONE FRUIT DRYING TECHNOLOGY

Abstract

The relevance of this research is the development of energy-saving technologies, that is, the use of solar energy for drying apricots, which is of great practical importance for our country. Drying agricultural products using energy-saving technologies is an urgent problem in Uzbekistan.Uzbekistan has very good conditions for drying fruits, vegetables and apricots. The length of summer, the heat of the day, the unique varieties of raw fruits, vegetables and apricots, the low relative humidity and drying methods left behind by our generations make it possible to obtain products by air-solar and shade methods, high quality and low cost. The importance of drying fruits and vegetables is that they make it easier to store fruits and vegetables for a long time and allow them to be transported to remote locations
