Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -How does drying keep food from spoiling? 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: -The objective in dehydrating is getting almost all the water out of the food. 80% is not enough. The goal is 90 – 95% dehydrated. Some items, like pineapple are still going to feel a little bit sticky even when dehydrated properly.
