Drying plays an important role in the preservation of agricultural products. There are two types of water present in the food items, chemically bound water and physically held water. In drying, it is only the physically held water that is removed. The dried foods have a long shelf life because the moisture content is so low and the growth of spoilage organisms are reduced. Food can be dried in several ways, for example, by the sun if the air is hot and dry enough, or in an oven or dryer if the climate is humid. Although solar drying is a popular method, many rural places do not have a suitable climate for it. So it is important to develop a dryer that works with other technologies. A biomass gasifier-based dryer can solve this problem. Biomass-based fuel has been gaining popularity as it is one of the alternatives to fossil fuel.
