Vegetable Drying Process
Vegetable drying is a processing method that removes moisture from fresh vegetables through heating, air drying, or other techniques, allowing them to be stored for extended periods. Dried vegetables not only have a longer shelf life but also retain their concentrated nutrients and flavors, while reducing their size and weight, making them easier to transport and store. Below is the vegetable drying process. After pre-treatment, vegetables are evenly spread on drying trays, avoiding overlap to ensure that each piece of vegetable is adequately heated. The loaded drying trays are then placed into the drying equipment. Modern drying equipment typically features a multi-layer design, allowing large quantities of vegetables to be processed at once, significantly increasing production efficiency. The key to vegetable drying lies in controlling temperature and humidity. Typically, the drying temperature is set between 50-70 degrees Celsius, with specific adjustments made based on the type, thickness, and moisture content of the vegetables. Intelligent control systems can monitor and adjust...
