Drying is a crucial process in preserving the physicochemical qualities of white pepper. This study investigates the impact of two drying processes, namely traditional sun drying (TSD) and rotary drum drying (RDD), on the quality of white pepper. TSD requires three consecutive sunny days for drying,...
