SS Engineers and Consultants Little equipment is required to start dehydration project says Karthik, project engineer for dehydration of fruits and vegetables at SS Engineers and Consultants. Drying food using a dehydrator removes enough moisture from foods so that bacteria, yeast, and mold cannot grow.
Dried fruits make high-energy snacks. The fact that dried foods are lightweight and compact makes them desirable for hiking and camping trips. Some fruits and vegetables suitable for drying include apples, pears, peaches, plums, apricots, bananas, cantaloupe, strawberries, blueberries, carrots, celery, corn, green beans, potatoes, and tomatoes. Fruits can also be dried as fruit leathers and rolls. Meat can be dried as jerky.
