Dehydrating

Dehydration is a method used to preserve food. Various factors, such as the quality of the fresh food, pretreatment techniques, the size and thickness of the food, and the climate may affect the finished product.

During dehydration, heat is used to force out moisture and air circulation is used to carry the moisture away.

Refer to a reliable book or source for complete information about dehydrating and preserving foods.
