FOOD TECHNOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Drying or “dehydrating” food is a method of food preservation that removes enough moisture from the food so bacteria, yeast and molds cannot grow.

Detailed explanation-2: -dehydration, in food processing, means by which many types of food can be preserved for indefinite periods by extracting the moisture, thereby inhibiting the growth of microorganisms. Dehydration is one of the oldest methods of food preservation and was used by prehistoric peoples in sun-drying seeds.

Detailed explanation-3: -Drying or dehydration is, by definition, the removal of water by evaporation, from a solid or liquid food, with the purpose of obtaining a solid product sufficiently low in water content.

Detailed explanation-4: -Desiccation is also known as drying or dehydration. This is an ancient technique of food preservation in which food is dried thus initiating the growth of bacteria, yeast and moulds through the removal of water.
