Page 7: Dehydration Guide
SET UP & USE DEHYDRATION GUIDE PRINCIPLES OF DEHYDRATION There are no absolutes and quite a few variables in food dehydration. The best way to become proficient is to experiment using this booklet as a guideline and then adjusting your drying technique according to your results. Record keeping is helpful in food dehydration. - Page 8 SET UP & USE PRETREATING Enzymes in fruit and vegetables are responsible for color and fl avor changes during ripening. These changes will continue during drying and storage unless the produce is pretreated to slow down enzyme activity. Blanching can be used in the pretreatment of vegetables, as it helps set color and hastens drying by relaxing tissues.
- Page 9 SET UP & USE RECONSTITUTING FOODS All dehydrated foods need to be reconstituted. Most fruits are actually preferable in their dried form. Most vegetables, however, are most taste-tempting when reconstituted. To reconstitute vegetables for cooking, merely wash product in clean water, then place in an amount of cold, unsalted water and cover.
- Page 10 SET UP & USE One cup of dried fruit reconstitutes to about 1 1/2 cups. Add water just to cove the fruit; more can be added later if needed. One to eight hours are required to reconstitute most fruits, depending on fruit type, size of pieces, and water temperature.
- Page 11 SET UP & USE PACKING AND STORAGE Fruits cut into a wide range of sizes should be allowed to “sweat” or condition for a week after drying to equalize the moisture among the pieces before placing in long- term storage. Place fruit in a non-aluminum, non-plastic container and put in a dry, well-ventilated and protected area.
