| Definition |
Process that removes the moisture from a food product. When moisture is re-moved, most of the substances that lead to spoilage are also removed. Food is dried in one of three ways: 1. Mechanical drying-uses a machine to remove the moisture in the food product. 2. Freeze drying-involves freezing the food product then placing it in a chamberwhere all air and moisture are removed. 3. Chemical drying-uses a chemical substance to remove moisture from the food. Salt is the most common chemical used in chemical drying.
