dc.description.abstract	Effect of drying temperature and time on okra (Hibiscus esculentus) was investigated. The moisture content, colour and texture of the okra were evaluated. A model was developed to meet the required safe storage moisture content, using data drawn from a 2 factorial conducted in triplicates. The colour and texture parameters were statistically evaluated using chi-square. The results showed that a temperature of 65 C and a drying time of 5 hours are most appropriate for drying okra to safe storage moisture content of 3.2% dry basis (0.032 db). At P<0.05 results showed that there was significant difference in colour and no significant differences in the texture of fresh and dried samples.	en_US
