Overview

Today’s consumers demand more than just dried food and seek additional qualities associated with it. Conventional drying methods include natural drying and hot air drying but have some drawbacks with regards to drying rates and quality. Industry and academia interaction drives R&D and innovations in drying technologies. This presentation intends to share the recent advances and innovative drying technologies using selected examples.
