This Manual of-Solar Drying presents the results of phases 1 to 3 (1989-1994) of the project section "Solar Drying" within the scope of German-Moroccan cooperation in the "Special Energy Program Morocco".
The project benefited from the outstanding commitment of the project's Moroccan and German staff, for which we would like to sincerely thank them.
Our gratitude is also due to the Office Regional de Mise en Valeur Agricole du Haonz (ORMVAH) for making available the test plot, for providing support for conducting the tests and various farm analyses, and for its willingness to provide accomodations for several Moroccan and German students and interns that took part in the project. Particularly deserving of mention in this connection are the Service de la Production Agricole (SPA) and, most especially, the Service de Materiel (SM) and the Centre de Mise en Valeur (CMV) Sâada, without whose generous contribution of personnel and equipment it would have been impossible to carry out the planned work on this scale.
We would like to extend our heartbelt thanks to the Service des Energies Solaires of the Centre de Développement des Energies Renouvelables (CER) and the SEP Office for coordinating the project and providing support for conducting the various market analyses and surveys.
We are also indebted to the Institute for Agricultural Engineering in the tropics and subtropics of the University of Hohenheim for holding the seminars on solar dying equipment and drying of medicinal and spice plants.
Our thanks also go to Prof. Senhaji, Institut Agronomique et Vétérinaire (IAV) of the University of Hassan II for providing ideas and valuable assistance on all aspects of solar drying and preservation of foodstuffs.
