Abstract
The present study was conducted with an objective to evaluate the quality parameters of cabbage in mechanical dryer. The independent parameters for drying were exposure area, loading density and moisture content. Maximum rehydration ratio, ascorbic acid content, total phenolic content and overall acceptability were 6.35, 11.5mg/100g, 69 mg/ GAE 100g and 7.84 respectively. The minimum color change and shrinkage ratio was 18.12 and 0.57 respectively.
