Global Dried Processed Food Market

Food drying is a method where food is dried or dehydrated or desiccated for the purpose of preservation. Drying inhibits the growth of bacteria and yeasts through the removal of water and thus the dampness from the food can be expelled and accordingly the time span of usability of food can be expanded. In the ancient times water used to be removed through evaporation, although now a days electric food dehydrators or freeze-drying are used to speed up the drying process and this ensures more consistent results. Dried foods have been consumed widely due to their high sugar content, sweet taste and a longer shelf-life from drying.
