| dc.description.abstract | An experiment entitled “Effect of different drying techniques on quality of dried kasuri methi (Trigonella corniculata) leaves” was carried out at College of Agriculture, Nagaur, Agriculture University, Jodhpur (Rajasthan). Kasuri methi (Trigonella corniculata) is a bushy, herbaceous, slow growing yearly spice crop, primarily grown for herbage that to for dry herb and seed. Its leaves are pinnate, leaflet size is 1.25-2.0 cm. Flowers color is usually bright orange or yellow in close racemes. The present investigation was focused on thethe effect of different drying techniques namely shade drying, sun drying and solar tunnel drying on nutritional and sensory quality of dried kasuri methi leaves.The proximate composition analysis was performed after drying involving determination of moisture, fat, protein, ash, acid insoluble ash, crude fiber and carbohydrate. Also other nutritional determinants like of calcium, riboflavin and ascorbic acid were estimated. The weighed kasuri methi leaves were taken and dried by different drying techniques. The weight reduction of the samples as measured periodically until the constant weights were observed. From the experiment, the initial moisture content of the fresh kasuri methi leaves was found to be 71.27%. The final moisture content of the different drying methods drying samples were found as 5.41% in shade drying, 5.17% in sun drying, and 5.37% in solar tunnel drying respectively. Total drying time required for moisture removal to very lowest level were found to be as 48 hr, 5hr, 3hr for shade, sun and solar tunnel drying, respectively. Overall performance and quality characteristics is found better in shade drying method samples as compare to other drying method but the solar tunnel drying method is just marginally lacking behind sensory attributes, which is the fastest drying method in all. | |
