Notes:
An exploratory study has been made where drying was done by reheating the vapors of evaporation which were then recycled with the combustion gasses through a partially closed system containing a low oxygen atmosphere. Fresh carrots dried in this manner were simultaneously dried and blanched and appeared to have more flavor and color and a more natural texture compared to conventionally air-dried carrots when reconstituted. Drying temperatures greater than 143°C throughout drying caused heat damage to the drying product, but higher temperatures may be possible in the initial drying stages by replacing the batch system used in this investigation with a two-stage continuous system.
