PROBLEM SOLVING

MOISTURE IN THE CONTAINER

CAUSE: Incomplete Drying. Food cut unevenly, thus incomplete drying. Dried foods left at room temperature too long after cooling, moisture has re-entered the foods.

PREVENTION: Test food for dryness before removing from the dehydrator. Cut foods evenly. Cool quickly and package immediately.

__________________________________________________________________

MOLD ON FOOD

CAUSE: Incomplete drying. Food not checked for moisture content within a week. Storage container not air-tight. Storage temperature too warm/moisture in food. Case hardening may have occurred, meaning the food was dried at too high of a temperature and food was dried on the outside but not completed dried on the inside.

PREVENTION: Test several food pieces for dryness. Check the storage container within 1 week for moisture, then re-dry food if needed. Use air-tight containers for storage. Store foods in cool areas that are 70°F (21oC) or below. Dry foods at appropriate temperatures/use the Drying Guide for reference.

__________________________________________________________________

BROWN SPOTS ON VEGETABLES

CAUSE: Too high of drying temperature used. Vegetables were over-dried.

PREVENTION: Dry foods at appropriate temperatures/use the Drying Guide for reference. Check foods often for dryness.

__________________________________________________________________

FOOD STICKING TO THE TRAYS

CAUSE: Food not being turned over.

PREVENTION: After one hour of dehydrating, use a spatula and flip the foods.
