This study investigated the quality of dried whole and half chili pods' powder dried with solar drying combined with CaCl desiccant compared with natural convection solar drying to produce the final chili powder product. Besides the sensory analysis, the quality parameters such as beta-carotene, moisture, vitamin C, and ash content were also observed. The results showed that 57 hours of drying time of whole and half chili pods using solar drying can reach moisture content below 5%. Beta-carotene, ash, and vitamin C contents of the whole chili were higher than those of half chili pods' dried pepper powder; they were20.38 ± 0.22 mg/100 g, 5.81 ± 0.15%, and 23.99 ± 0.57 mg/100 g, respectively. This study can guide the red chili drying process based on the quality of the dried chili powder.
本研究调查了与自然对流太阳能干燥相比,采用太阳能干燥结合氯化钙干燥剂干燥的干辣椒全果和半果粉末的质量,以生产最终的辣椒粉产品。除了感官分析外,还观察了β-胡萝卜素、水分、维生素C和灰分含量等质量参数。结果表明,使用太阳能干燥全果和半果辣椒57小时可使水分含量降至5%以下。全果辣椒的β-胡萝卜素、灰分和维生素C含量高于半果干辣椒粉,分别为20.38±0.22毫克/100克、5.81±0.15%和23.99±0.57毫克/100克。本研究可为基于干辣椒粉质量的红辣椒干燥过程提供指导。
