Analysis of health aspects, food acceptability, and economics benefits of the solar box cooker in Sierra Leone. Rept. for 1 Oct 88-31 May 90 (Final)
The report provides the results of a project whose aim was ascertaining the effectiveness of the Solar Box Cooker as an instrument for cooking and pasteurizing water, as well as, the degree to which it and its products are acceptable to the people of Sierra Leone. Specific Objectives were as follows: (1) To ascertain the extent of reduction of pathogenic micro-organism of foods cooked and water pasteurized via the solar box cooker in the village environment; (2) To determine the acceptability of solar box cooked food as compared with foods cooked via the traditional methods; (3) To estimate the costs savings of fuel and labor for foods cooked via the solar box cooker; and (4) To adopt Solar Box Cooker technologyfor successful use in a designated developing country.
