Drying of Fruit
Introduction
Audio-visual methodology is aimed at supporting and empowering people involved in the field of agriculture to define, promote, and take full ownership of their development, as learning is a life-long process.
Fruit drying is a method used for a long time to extend the life of the fruit. Bacteria, yeast, and
mould cannot grow and spoil the food, and because drying removes moisture,
dried fruit becomes smaller and lighter in weight. Drying also slows down the
enzyme action that causes foods to ripen, but the process does not inactivate
these beneficial compounds.
Who Should Enrol
