TIPS FOR FOOD DEHYDRATION
- The dehydration time for pre-processed fruit depends on:
- The thickness of the pieces or slices of food
- The number of trays with food
- The volume of food
- The humidity of the working environment
- Your preferences
- It is recommended that you:
- Check your food every hour.
- Rotate and/or re-stack the trays if you notice uneven drying.
- Label food with the type of food, the dehydration date, and how much it weighed before drying. It is also helpful to record the drying time for future reference.
- Proper storage!; le after drying will also help maintain the quality of the food and preserve nutrients.
- Storage tips for dehydrated food:
- Store food only after it has cooled down.
- Food will keep longer if it is stored in a cool, dry, dark place.
- Remove all the air from the storage container and close it tightly.
- Optimal storage temperature is 1 S°C or below.
- Never store food directly in a metal container.
- Make sure the food is sealed tightly to prevent air from leaking in.
- Check the dried food for moisture in the weeks following dehydration. If there is moisture, dehydrate the next food for a longer time to avoid spoilage.
- To ensure quality, dried fruit, vegetables, herbs, nuts, and bread should not be kept in a refrigerator or freezer for more than 1 year.
- Dried meat, poultry, and fish can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 months and in the freezer for up to 1 year.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
