Abstract (AB)The effects of air temperature and rate of drying upon the quality of dried groundnuts are described. The principles involved in the drying process are explained and recommendations for the conditioning of the drying air are made. A scheme for a drying plant capable of coping with an harvesting rate of 4 tonnes of green in-shell nuts per day is suggested, and the costs of implementing such a scheme are analysed.
