Detailed explanation-1: -Dehydration is the process of removing water or moisture from a food product. Removing moisture from foods makes them smaller and lighter. Dehydrated foods are ideal for backpacking, hiking, and camping because they weigh much less than their non-dried counterparts and do not require refrigeration.
Detailed explanation-2: -1) Preservation by Sun-drying or Dehydration Drying means removal of water from food materials which are to be prepared. It reduces the water content of food material and makes them dry. In the absence of moisture, the food does not get spoiled because the micro-organism which spoil food do not grow in dry food.
Detailed explanation-3: -Osmotic dehydration is the removal of water by immersing the food in a solution of salt or sugars of high osmotic pressure.
