“…The uses of environmentally friendly and inexpensive energy sources such as solar have been increasingly discussed. Solar drying kilns are extensively utilised in the agricultural and food industries, where low drying temperatures and short drying cycles are required (Teussingka et al, 2023). Solar drying may become a potential drying technology in bamboo due to the major energy saving, simplicity to set up and ease of operation (Sattar, 1992).…”

Bamboo is a fast-growing lignocellulosic material and is increasingly being used as an alternative material for producing renewable and consumer-friendly products. A study was conducted to determine the physical properties and drying behaviour of Semantan bamboo. The physical properties of Semantan bamboo varied from bottom to top. The average basic density ranged from 597 to 626 kg m-3 and volumetric shrinkage ranged from 13.5 to 15.8%. The solar-drying and air-drying times for the green bamboo culms to reach an average moisture content of approximately 12.76% to 12.98% were about 20 and 30 days, respectively.
