6. Food dehydration

6.1 General information on
the food dehydration
process
Food dehydration is a preservation process.
It is based on the extraction of water from
food. A low water content deprives bacteria
and mildew of their fundamental living con-
ditions. The dehydration process occurs at
relatively low temperatures (40 - 70 °C).
There is no need to add chemical additives,
salt or sugar. Thus, the food remains untreat-
ed. The major part of the vitamins remains
intact. The drying process causes a concen-
tration of minerals, fibres and nutrients.
