PREFACE Drying using solar radiation, i.e. drying under direct sunlight, is one of the oldest techniques used by mankind to preserve agriculture based food and non-food products. This form of energy is free, renewable and abundant in any part of the world especially in tropical countries. However, in order to maximize its advantage and optimize the efficiency of drying using solar radiation, appropriate technology need to be applied in order to keep this technique a sustainable one. Such technology is known as solar drying and is becoming a popular option to replace mechanical thermal dryers owing to the high cost of fossil fuels which is growing in demand but dwindling in supply. For sustainability and climate change concerns it is important to use renewable sources of energy as much as possible. Various topics in sun and solar drying are discussed in many scientific reports, research manuscripts and books. Readers are advised to refer to several published articles available in the Drying Technology – An international Journal and drying books as well as handbooks edited by Professor Arun S. Mujumdar. A series of e-books have been initiated by Professor Mujumdar, which is made available for free download at http://serve.me.nus.edu.sg/arun/. The main objective of these e-books is to make useful technical literature available for the public, especially for those that have limited access to expensive reading materials. Such books can also be used by students, academics, industrial experts and researchers for teaching, learning and research purposes. Free access to all parts of the globe is expected to enhance the use of renewable energy resources. This e-book entitled “Solar drying: Fundamentals, Applications and Innovations”, is the latest addition to the current collection of this unique e-book series, is a joint effort initiated between the Centre of Food and Bio-product Processing, University of Nottingham, Malaysia Campus and the Transport Phenomena ( TPR) Group, National University of Singapore. We would like to express our sincere appreciation to the contributing authors, which are listed following the preface, in their support and commitment in making this e-book successfully published and available freely on-line. The content of this e-book can be improved and added with new chapters from time to time. We welcome any feedback from readers and suggestion from potential authors to include new chapters in this e-book. We invite readers to inform their contacts about this free professional service.
