Title A novel process for drying fruits and vegetables

Field of invention
The present invention relates generally an process for puffing-drying fruits and vegetables. The
process includes removing the free water from fruits and vegetables, then putting the fruits and
vegetables into a reaction vessel, ozonized water so that the all germs and pesticides were
removed and The dehumidifier used in this dehydration process is specially made by membrane
technology.
Background of the invention
Puffing and drying production techniques for fruits and vegetables have always been an important area in the processing of food (and even pharmaceuticals). The puffing and drying process can prolong the shelf life of the food, improve the taste, and facilitate transportation, However, due to the use of high-temperature, high-strength extrusion and frying* the nutrients of the food are destroyed, and the quality of the color and flavor is deteriorated., the icing is poor, and even some cases cause carcinogens (such as acrylamide) to increase several times, and many fruits and vegetables are not suitable for frying.
Another method is low temperature (-30 V) vacuum freezing. The effect of vacuum drying is good, the rehydration is good, the nutrient content is retained, the color and fragrance are good, the taste is good, but the production process cost is too high, and the finished product is expensive (such as lyophilization Spinach 148 yuan / kg), cannot be used as a general commodity, can only be used for aerospace, marine and other special types of work, arms use.
Summary of invention
In order to overcome the shortcomings of the above-mentioned art method, such as loss of nutrients, poor flavor, taste and color, poor rehydration, poisoning, etc., or because the process cost is too high, there is no promotion value, the present invention provides a fruit and vegetable

A method in which a food product is subjected to expansion at room temperature. The raw material i.e. Vegetables or fruits which is to be dehydrated is first checked physically and by metal detector whether there should not be any nietal material. The humidity of the dehydrator is kept bellow 10 % by using dehumidifire. The dehumidifire used in this dehydration process is specially made by membren technology. In this dehumidification process the air is passed through a hollow cylinder which is fitted with membrens .The air passes through membren with the help of compressor,with certain pressure and the water gets evoporated and dry dehumidified air is generated,it is then passes in dehydrator. And thus The humidity is created artificially bellow 10%
Objectives of the invention
• The primary object of the invention is to is to be dehydrated is first checked physically and by metal detector whether there should not be any metal material.
• Another object of the invention is to is set to the required ambient temperature @ 26 to 34 degree celcius.
• A further object of the invention is to provide a The humidity of the dehydrator is kept bellow 10 % by using dehumidifire.
Detailed description of the Invention
Detailed descriptions of the preferred embodiment are provided herein. It is to be understood* however, that the present invention may be embodied in various forms. Therefore, specific details disclosed herein are not to be interpreted as limiting, but rather as a basis for the claims and as a representative basis for teaching one skilled in the art to employ the present invention in virtually any appropriately detailed system* structure or manner,

The raw material i.e. Vegetables or fruits which is to be dehydrated is first checked physically and by metal detector whether there should not be any metal material. Then the raw material is washed by ozonized water so that the all germs and pesticiddes were removed. The raw material then removed from ozonized water and then its outer shell is removed by using peeling machine or by knife.The raw material then chopped or slicced,orshread as per requirements . The detail Flow diagram shown as follows,



This chopped or slicced,orshread material then kept in tray. This tray then kept in dehydrator for dehydration. The dehydrator is set to the required ambient temperature @ 26 to 34 degree Celsius .The humidity of the dehydrator is kept bellow 10 % by using dehumidifier. The dehumidifier used in this dehydration process is specially made by membrane technology. In this dehumidification process the air is passed through a hollow cylinder which is fitted with membranes .The air passes through membrane with the help of compressor, with certain pressure and the water gets evaporated and dry dehumidified air is generated, it is then passes in dehydrator. And thus the humidity is created artificially below 10%. After some time the product is dehydrated. As we are using ambient temperature and dry air then there is no loss in color ,odor, texture ,taste and nutrient values. The dried product then kept in flakes form or grinded to make powder and stores in containers or as require.

Industrial Applications of present invention
The present invention shows, after some time the product is dehydrated. As we are using ambient temperature and dry air then there is no loss in color ,odor,texture,taste and nutrient values. The dried product then kept in flakes form or grinded to make powder and stores in containers or as require,
The present invention is more applicable in manufacturing of tablet in pharmaceutical
industry.

Claims
1. A novel process for drying fruits and vegetables comprises, dehumidifier used in this dehydration process is specially made by membrane technology.
