Stainless Steel Jack Fruit Dehydrator

Food dehydrators are convection ovens with low power that use heated air flow to reduce the water content of foods. Food has a high water content, typically 80-95% for various fruits and vegetables and 50-75% for various meats. Removing moisture from food prevents bacteria from growing and spoiling it. Furthermore, removing moisture from food reduces its weight and, in some cases, volume, making it easier to store. Food dehydrators are thus used to preserve and extend the shelf life of a variety of foods. Food dehydrators require heat sources such as solar energy, electricity, or biofuel and can take the form of large-scale dehydration projects, do-it-yourself projects, or commercially sold domestic appliances.
