Description Systematic studies on the sun-drying of Indian mandarin orange waste (peel and pomace) have been reported and discussed. Mandarin orange pomace took 4 days to sun-dry while mandarin peel took 3 days to dry (when spread at the tray load of 4 and 5 lb per tray of 16 x 32 in) to a moisture content of about 4.4-6.8% without significantly affecting the recovery and quality of pectin (methoxyl content, anhydrouronic acid and jelly grade, etc.) under sun-drying. The jelly grade of blanched peel (210) and pomace (200) remained inchanged during sun-drying. The rate of drying was faster in peel than in pomace. Mixing of peel with pomace accelerated the rate of drying of pomace, which otherwise mats and retards the rate of heat transfer. Combined drying of peel and pomace has been suggested. Blanching of the material somewhat improved the rate of drying.
