Food Dehydrator
Food dehydrator is a device used to remove moisture from foods such as fruits, vegetables, and meats to extend their shelf life. The device works by using a heat source and airflow from an energy source either from solar or electric power. The simultaneous work of a food dehydrator's heating element, fans, and vents does the process of drying. The dehydrator's heating element warms the food and the fan blows the warm, moist air out from it via vents.
Most foods are dehydrated at around 130 degrees Fahrenheit. However, meats are dehydrated at higher temperatures to ensure the elimination of certain harmful bacteria present in it.
During the food dehydration process, it is very important that constant amount of heat and adequate air flow are maintained. The process of drying the foods continues for several hours until they reach the substantial amount of moisture. The desired dryness of foods being processed in a food dehydrator is usually fifteen to twenty percent or less.
