Produktbeschreibung

The idea of this text is based on our conviction that fish is one of the most important foods on the planet. It's flesh is a source of top quality protein for many. One of the major loss of fish and fish product is spoilage. Fish can be preserved in various ways (smoking, freezing, drying, canning, etc). Preservation by smoking is the commonest way of fish preservation in the tropics. However, it is not environmental friendly because of its immense contribution to rapid deforestation, pollution and climate change and dirty nature of its product. Also, preservation of fish powered by electricity in developing countries is not feasible due to fluctuation in power supply. Sun harvesting is totally free and this device can trap solar energy basically for the purpose of processing fish by drying if desirable. This has lead to the development of the Parabolic Dish Solar Collector using simple common material. The design is very easy, environmental friendly and the working principle is simple just like the letter 'A'. This book is quite captivating and effective in harvesting the sun coupled with its utilization in moisture removal. This book is of importance in education and research.
