Description
Dehydrated vegetable powder production reduces moisture below 5% to inhibit microbes and preserve nutrients.
Technical
The process removes water through controlled heating, lowering water activity below 0.3 to prevent microbial growth. It balances temperature, airflow, and particle size to avoid Maillard browning, which generates melanoidins and off‑flavors, while retaining volatile aromatics.
