According to bulk density analysis, bulk density increased for both open sun and solar-assisted spouted bed dried peas when compared with their initial (Table 2). Bulk densities of fresh and solar-assisted spouted bed dried peas were not significantly different from each other showing that quality of solar-assisted spouted bed dried pea is acceptable. By drying under open sun, due to the lower drying rate, more shrinkage was observed. Therefore, bulk density of open sun dried peas was higher than that of solar-assisted spouted dried ones.
