The Latin America, Middle East and Africa Air-dried Food Market would witness market growth of 10.6% CAGR during the forecast period (2020-2026). An alternative to drying from the sun is machine dry. Machine drying has the advantage of having less drying space and is not climate-dependent. Machine drying is suitable for areas of hot climates. The first step in the drying of coffee by machine is using the Oreadora. The Oreadora is a dehumidifier that removes between 3-5 percent of the beans' moisture. The most popular coffee dryer is a rotator drum dryer or Guardiola. The horizontal rotating drum allows a constant flow of warm air around the beans which eliminates the moisture.
In place of using firewood as a heat source for the furnace, a modern biomass furnace is used. The husk or parchment is used as both the fossil fuel and the wood harvested from the coffee trees pruning and the shade trees. Fresh air is passed through several ducts and interchanges until it is heated to the desired temperature indirectly. After this, the hot air is injected into the beans to remove the moisture. Indirect heating is very important for drying coffee, since direct flame can damage the coffee beans, reducing the coffee quality.
Herbs and spices can be dried in vacuum dryers to produce products with stronger organoleptic properties than those created by hot air drying. It is for this reason that the aromatic herbs for culinary uses are dried in vacuum, in order to preserve their volatile compounds responsible for aroma and flavor. Some herbs, such as parsley or thyme, can be dried without bleaching or sulfating. Plants drying for infusions are often dried in vacuum to preserve their bioactive compounds responsible for their positive health effects.
