Abstract

Convection drying was used to investigate the drying process of semi-dried lamb. The drying conditions were carried in combination of adding sorbitol and glycerin and salt. The results showed that the most appropriate drying conditions were at temperature of 56oC, drying time of 210 min and wind speed of 0.24 m/s. The addition of sorbitol, glycerin, common salt in product was 4.37%, 1.93%, and 3.4%, respectively which were suitable for maintaining the aw of the product at 0.67 g.
