Bitter Gourd Processing Value Chain

FRESH BITTER GOURD WASH SLICE LOAD SOLAR DRY GRADE PACK MARKET

Solar drying can help convert seasonal bitter gourd into a more stable, transportable and value-added dried product.

Important Drying Note

The 5080C figure is the typical system range and should not be treated as a fixed recommended temperature for bitter gourd. Actual drying conditions depend on initial moisture, slice thickness, tray loading, airflow, humidity, solar radiation and required final moisture. Drying time should therefore be determined according to the actual product and desired final condition rather than a fixed number of hours.
