1. A study titled "Effect of Spray-Drying and Freeze-Drying on the Composition, Physical Properties, and Sensory Quality of Pea Processing Water (Liluva)" discusses how spray-drying can extend the shelf life and improve the transportability of high-nutritional foods such as Liluva, which is the processing water of legumes¹. The study found that fibre content in pea water after spray-drying was higher while soluble carbohydrates and minerals were lower than those after freeze-drying¹.

2. Another study titled "Beetroot Microencapsulation with Pea Protein Using Spray Drying" discusses the use of pea protein in the spray drying of beetroot juice, which resulted in high yields of spray drying and good characteristics of the powdered product⁴.

3. A paper titled "Chemical Drying Agents In Harvesting Legume Hay" discusses how chemical drying agents can substantially shorten the field curing time of alfalfa and other legume hays when weather is good for hay making².

4. A chapter titled "Drying of Agricultural Crops" in a book explains that durable crops, such as grains and pulses, should be dried up to their equilibrium moisture content with warehouse atmospheric conditions³.
