The country bean (Lablab purpureus), is a significant contributor of dietary protein and other essential components in human nutrition. Because of its elevated moisture content, it is susceptible to rapid decay, leading to losses after harvesting. The utilization of solar drying has attracted significant attention as a tactic to minimize nutrient depletion in dried goods and enhance their longevity. This study employed four solar drying techniques, namely long chimney, short chimney, box solar drying and open sun drying, along with pretreatments such as potassium metabisulfite, potassium-sodium tartrate, citric acid and ascorbic acid. The objective was to determine an effective solar drying method, combined with pretreatment, that can maintain the color and nutritional qualities of dried country bean seeds. The treatment combinations were organized in a factorial randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. The data were subjected to a two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and a Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT) was conducted at a significance level of 5 % (p |
