PRINCIPLES OF DEHYDRATION
There are no absolutes and quite a few variables in food dehydration. The best
way to become proficient is to experiment using this booklet as a guideline and
then adjusting your dry technique according to your result.
Record keeping is helpful in food dehydration. Records of weight of produce
before and after the dehydration, length of time required for drying, etc., can
be useful information in attaining good quality products. Information can be
recorded on the label of the food storage containers.
Tasty ready-to-eat snacks and confections are some of the versatile products
you can create by drying fruits and vegetables at home. After soaking in water,
the re-hydrated food can be used in favorite recipes for casseroles, soups,
stews and salads. Re-hydrated fruits and berries can also make excellent
sauces.
Drying is appealing because the procedure is relatively simple and requires
little equipment. Only minimal storage space is needed.
Dehydrating is a method of heating the food to evaporate the moisture
present, and removing the water vapor formed.
Most food products release moisture rapidly during early stages of drying.
This means they can absorb large amounts of heat and give off large
quantities of water vapor while remaining at a temperature well below that of
the drying air.
PROCEDURE
Fruits and vegetables selected for drying should be the highest quality
obtainable fresh and fully ripened Wilted or inferior produce will not make a
satisfactory dried product. Immature produce lacks flavor and color. Over
mature produce may be tough and fibrous or soft and mushy.
Prepare produce immediately after gathering, and begin drying at once. Wash
or clean all fresh food thoroughly to remove any dirt or spray. Sort and discard
defective food; decay, bruises, or mold on any piece may affect an entire
batch.
For greater convenience when you finally use the food, and to speed drying, it
is advisable to peel pit, or core some fruits and vegetables. Smaller pieces dry
more quickly and uniformly.
