Summary
Fresh jute (Corchorus Olitorius L.) leaves which are used as indigenous vegetables in Kenya were dried under shade, in the sun, by vacuum and freeze-drying. The effect of the drying methods on the quality of the vegetables was then evaluated. Freeze-dried vegetable was found to have the best quality in terms of colour, ascorbic acid content and reconstitution characteristics.
