Introduction
THE PRINCIPLES OF DEHYDRATION
The first step in beginning the process of dehydration is to know what dehydration is. Dehydrating
food is one of the oldest and easiest methods used in food preservation. Dehydration is the process of
removing water or moisture from a food product which in turn makes that food product smaller and
lighter.
Food products release the majority of their moisture during the early stages of dehydration. This
allows the food product to absorb large amounts of heat and give off large quantities of water vapor
while simultaneously maintaining a temperature well below that of the surrounding air.
Taking good notes, and keeping record is important in the process of food dehydration.
This allows for users to develop a system in which they can maintain consistent results. Recording the
weight of the food before and after the process is recommended. It is also suggested that users label
storage containers with the dehydrating times of the food item inside.
Once dehydrated and properly stored, food items may be used over a long period of time. Obtaining
a rehydrated state is as simple as adding the dehydrated food to water. A New House Kitchen favorite,
