  Drying (food) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Drying is a method of food preservation that works by removing water from the food, which prevents the growth of microorganisms and decay.
Water is usually removed by evaporation (air drying, sun drying, smoking or wind drying) but, in the case of freeze-drying, food is first frozen and then water is removed by sublimation.
Dried and salted reindeer meat is a traditional Lappish food.

 Drying - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Drying is a mass transfer process resulting in the removal of water from an object.
Drying may be both a natural and an intentional process.
This causes evaporation of the surface water, which is replaced by water from inside the solid until the whole has dried out.

 Drying Food
The drying process, however, destroys some of the vitamins, especially A and C. Exposing fruit to sulfur before drying helps retain vitamins A and C. Sulfur destroys thiamine, one of the B vitamins, but fruit is not an important source of thiamine anyway.
Sun drying is the old-fashioned way to dry food because it uses the heat from the sun and the natural movement of the air.
Many factors affect the length of time needed for drying foods: temperature, air circulation, humidity, the kind of food being dried, the amount of food on a tray, the size of the pieces of food, and the total amount of food in the oven or dryer.

 Drying Fruits
Drying is a creative way to preserve foods and use home-grown fruit, extra produce (e.g., ripe bananas) and roadside market specials.

 Drying Food
Drying time depends on the type of food, the thickness of the cut, the moisture content of the food and the drying method.
Dried fruits can be eaten as nutritious snacks, or can be soaked in water or juice for one to two hours and used in favorite recipes.
Dried vegetables can be added directly to soups or stews without pre-soaking, drawing on the liquid in the soup or stew for rehydration during cooking.

 Food Drying by Marcella Shaffer Issue 58
Dried food is excellent for hiking and camping because of its light weight and compact size.
Dried food is preserved by its moisture content, or rather the lack of it.
After food is prepared for drying, spread it in a single layer (pieces not touching) on drying trays and place in a sunny spot which permits good air circulation.

 Drying Vegetables
Drying is one of the oldest methods of food preservation.
When drying foods, the key is to remove moisture as quickly as possible at a temperature that does not seriously affect the flavor, texture and color of the food.
To oven dry, preheat oven at lowest setting (140 to 150 degrees F), then adjust the thermostat and prop the oven door open to achieve a consistent oven temperature of 140 degrees F, and to allow moist air to escape.

 Drying Pasta Kitchen Knowledge
Drying Before Cooking: After fresh pasta noodles and shapes have been cut, they should be placed on a lightly floured surface and allowed to dry for at least 15 minutes before cooking.
The drying period allows the pasta to dry enough so that it becomes a little firm and less sticky, which helps prevent the pasta from clumping and sticking together when it is cooked.
The drying method and the temperature and humidity of the area in which it is dried will also greatly affect the drying time.

 FDA/CFSAN Economic Characterization of the Dietary Supplement Industry
The drying time required for conveyor dryers ranges from 2.5 to 6 hours, and the temperature of the drying air ranges from 40 to 80°C. Hot air dryers, which use very high temperatures (200 to 1,000°C) for very short periods (2 to 5 minutes) are not commonly used for drying medicinal plants (Hornok, 1992).
Dried herbaceous plants are generally compressed into bales weighing from 60 to 100 kg (13 to 220 pounds), which are then sewn into fabric bags or wrapped in plastic.
After drying, the capsule bodies and caps are removed from the pins and cut to the correct length.

Being a direct drying process, the material is suspended in the hot drying air.
The drying agitator works as rotor to break the lumps and the hot air enters at reasonably high velocities to give dynamic action to dry and disintegrate the product.
The lumps, which are broken by the rotor start drying and simultaneously disintegrating in the stream of hot air.

The purpose of drying is to preserve food by lowering the amount of water or moisture in the food material to a point where microbial growth (bacteria, yeast and mold) and chemical reactions (enzymatic deterioration) cannot destroy the food during storage.
Though drying itself does not destroy enzymes, the dried food (especially pretreated dried food) is considered to be low enough in moisture to prevent enzymatic deterioration.
In outdoor drying, the food is dried directly in the sun, by a solar drier or on the vine.

 Drying Foods
Food drying is one of the oldest methods of preserving food for later use.
Foods can be dried in the sun, in an oven or in a food dehydrator by using the right combination of warm temperatures, low humidity and air current.
Oven drying is slower than dehydrators because it does not have a built-in fan for the air movement.

 Grain Drying
Grain in the field dries naturally as the crop matures, giving up moisture to the air until the grain moisture is in equilibrium with the moisture in the air (equilibrium moisture content).
Raising the temperature of the drying air increases the moisture-carrying capacity of the air and decreases the relative humidity.
The drying rate depends on the difference in moisture content between the drying air and the grain kernel.
