Very often fruits and vegetables are damaged during the process of storage and transportation. This is possible because of the large moisture content in these farm products. If the moisture content is reduced, then the items can be kept in storage for long, along with maintenance of taste and flavour.
This is being done for apricots also, as the farms are limited to a region but the distribution is carried out over large areas.
To transport these fruits over a long distance, the moisture can be reduced. As a result there will be less infestation of worm and bacteria. It is possible to store the items for a long time along with reduced chance of microbial infestation. Since apricots have a hard shell but soft interior, it is essential to maintain such configuration by apricot dryer but still make these durable.
Putting the right features in apricot dryer for best output of storage
Heat drying method of apricots has become quite well known these days. Although the heating method was practised for lots of fruits since ages, it has been recognised in recent times to have full scale application. Such method is applied using apricot dryer where the heat is generated by solar energy. It will help in giving the right type of tool for the drying process inside chambers. By applying heat, the water content is moved from the interior to the outer surface from where it is evaporated.
Removing the moisture content helps in preventing microbial infestation. This will keep the storage of such fruits for long along with high level of water content. Such aspects have actually helped farm orchards to send their items to long distances. Also, the losses due to wastage of the apricots are reduced significantly. This is being done nowadays in many places where apricot production is huge.
