natural color protectors (example: lemon) helps to prevent color and flavor loss during drying and storage.

4. DRYING GUIDE: time & temperature :
• This drying guide is a guideline for reference. Times and temperatures may vary for different types
of foods; start by drying food at the minimum recommended time referenced on the chart. If the
food is not listed on the chart, pick a similar food. Many things may influence drying time, including
moisture content, type and amount of food, shape and evenness of food slices, air temperature,
humidity, and your personal preference for the texture of your food.
• The higher the temperature, the shorter the drying time. Note that a temperature below 40~50°C
is better to preserve food flavors and nutrients. It is possible to initiate the process with a higher
temperature for a faster cooking cycle and then lower the temperature to preserve a maximum
of nutrients.
• The thinner the food to be dried, the faster it dries.
