Totl olor index = (R Y) /(B Y) () Fresh nn totl olor index ws set s referene for olor hnges during drying proess. Drying Time nd Drying Rte Curves: The drying urve ws skethed s dry sis moisture ontent of nn slie t eh time versus drying time. Drying rte ws lulted y dividing differene of two onseutive moisture ontent y drying time intervl. Drying rte ws skethed versus moisture ontent (dry sis). Sttistil Anlysis: Rndomized omplete lok design ws used for sttistil nlysis. Averge omprison were evluted y Dunn's multiple rnge test. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Drying Time: Figure showed tht treted smples hd shorter drying time reltive to ontrol smple. In omprison etween pretretments, lnhed nn slie hd shortest drying time. For exmple drying time for reh to finl moisture ontent t smples for ontrol T nd pretretments T, Tnd T in mm thikness were 5, 5, nd min respetively. Smples treted with pretretment T showed % redution in omprison with ontrol smple. In other hnd, nn hips tht produed with pretretments T nd T showed 5% redution reltive to ontrol smple nd 5% redution reltive to smples those treted with T. During lnhing pretretment T some destrution in nn texture mye ourred so used loss of more wter during drying.
