Among different types of dryers, spouted bed dryers may be more efficient for drying of peas. Spouted bed driers have several advantages. It introduces higher drying rates and therefore shorter drying times due to the continuous particle–air contact. Even at lower drying temperatures, system can provide effective drying which is important for heat sensitive food products. Spouted bed driers have been used for drying of food products especially for granulated ones successfully like wheat, corn, oats and cereal seeds (Zahed and Epstein, 1993) and corn (Jumah et al., 1996).
