and multiplying and also many of the enzymes that cause for undesired changes in the food cannot function properly at low water or no water level. But during drying there are two mechanisms which take place in the food‚ firstly heat is transferred to the food to provide sufficient amount energy for latent heat of vaporisation and secondly mass transfer is taken place as the water goes away from the food stuff (Earle‚ 1983). The Rate of drying depends on the type of food‚ the processing conditions

Missouri. There are many things that affect this situation such as California being closer to water‚ Air Temperature/water temperature is cooler‚ and the water temperature is 27°.

Saint Louis isn’t near any large body of water‚ which results in the Air/soil temperature being warmer. It also has a greater temperature
