Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -How Drying Preserves Food. Drying removes the moisture from the food so that bacteria, yeasts and molds cannot grow and spoil the food. It also slows down the action of enzymes but does not inactivate them. When the food is ready for use, the water is added back and the food returns to its original shape.
Detailed explanation-2: -In order to dry food in the sun, one needs to have both warm temperatures and a constant breeze. A minimum temperature of 85 deg F is essential while higher temperatures are obviously better. The high temperature will extract the moisture while the breeze would help to dispel it into the surrounding air.
