Generally, the shelf life of fruits is limited. Fruits are highly perishable and deteriorate at room temperature. Even if they are refrigerated, the shelf life can only be extended to a few weeks. In addition, a large amount of fruit is often unsalable every year and either rots in the fields or on the stalls, which makes fruit farmers and traders very distressed. Therefore, drying, processing and reselling of fruits has become another important sales channel. In fact, in addition to direct consumption of fruits, deep processing has also been a major trend in the development of the industry in recent years. In the field of deep processing, dried fruits are the most common, such as raisins, dried mangoes, banana slices, etc., which are all made by drying fresh fruits. out, and the drying process is inseparable from the steam generator. The dried fruit not only retains the sweet taste of the fruit, but also reduces the loss during transportation. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.
As the name suggests, dried fruit is a food made by drying fruits. Of course, it can also be sun-dried, air-dried, baked, or dried with a steam generator, or vacuum freeze-dried. Most people like to eat sweeter fruits, but if you eat too much at one time, you will feel tired and full, but you can use a steam generator to steam these fruits. If dried to make dried fruit, not only will the taste not be as strong, but the storage time will be longer, the taste will be crisper, and it will be more convenient to carry.
Drying is the process of concentrating the sugar, protein, fat and dietary fiber in the fruit, and vitamins will also be concentrated. Sun-drying is exposing the fruit to air and sunlight, and heat-labile nutrients like vitamin C and vitamin B1 are almost completely lost. The steam generator used for fruit drying has intelligent temperature control, energy supply on demand, and even heating. It can avoid the destruction of nutrients caused by high temperatures during drying, and retain the flavor and nutrition of the fruit to a large extent. If such a good technology It can serve the market extensively and I believe it can reduce the waste of fruit to a great extent.
Traditional methods such as sun drying and air drying take a long time, and there are certain uncertain factors. If it rains, it may cause the undried fruits to become moldy and deteriorate, and the fruit will also deteriorate during the drying process. It requires a lot of manual turning, and the dried fruit will have uneven color and shriveled appearance. The sugar, protein, fat and various minerals, vitamins, etc. in the fruit will be concentrated during the drying process, and they will be exposed to the air during the drying process. Under sunlight and sunlight, more vitamins will be lost, and this method cannot meet the needs of large-scale production.
Using a steam generator to make dried fruits eliminates these worries. Using a steam generator to dry dried fruits has the following advantages: first, the drying process will no longer be affected by the environment; second, it can greatly improve the production efficiency of dried fruits; third, it can well preserve the contents of the fruits. The nutritional content and the integrity of the well-preserved appearance are beautiful, delicious and nutritious; fourth, using a steam generator for drying to make dried fruits has high thermal efficiency and is very convenient to operate, thus saving more human resources and cost.
