Abstract This work presents the experimental investigation on a solar food dryer equipped with external reflectors to enhance the rate of drying efficiency by removing the moisture content available in the anchovy fish. A comparison on conventional open solar drying is carried out to assess the parameters such as drying efficiency, moisture removal rate, and heat energy required for drying the anchovy fish using the modified solar dryer using natural convection technique. The physical examination results on the dried products proved that using modified solar dryer, the dried product are free from insects, dust. Also, it is found that the loss of colour from the product is minimum while compared to conventional open solar drying. The results showed that the thermal efficiency of dryer 1 and dryer 2 are comparatively higher as compared to that of conventional open solar drying and found as 16.73 and 19.34 % respectively.
