Summary: | Foodstuffs which have been frozen are partially dehydrated in a gaseous medium having a dry bulb temperature higher than about 200 DEG F. and a wet bulb temperature higher than about 120 DEG F. prior to finish drying at a dry bulb temperature of less than about 180 DEG F. to a storage stable moisture content of less than 12% by total weight. Dehydrated products ranging in size from 1/16'' thick slices to 3/4'' dice produced by this dehydration process reconstitute in less than about 15 minutes with an amount of water equivalent to at least 85% of the previously removed moisture. |
