Among various methods of preservation for fruits and vegetables, drying being simple, it is widely practiced from very ancient times. Papaya cubes were treated with Sodium meta bisulphite, Calcium chloride, blanching and their combination as pretreatments before air drying at 50oC and compared with the control sample. The time required for dehydration was comparatively less for the pretreated samples than control samples. The rehydration ratio of samples pretreated with blanching and Sodium meta bisulphite was observed maximum as 2.96.
