Coconut drying | TROCKNNER fruit dehydrator
How to dry coconut?
The TROCK-FOOD system is a drying equipment that uses heat pump technology to process various fruits and vegetables. In the case of coconuts, the temperature and drying time must be adjusted according to the size and moisture content of the fruit. In general, due to their high water content, coconuts require higher temperatures and longer times to dry properly.
Steps
Here are some approximate drying parameters for your reference:
Temperature: Generally speaking, the drying temperature of coconut should be between 55 and 65 degrees Celsius. In this way, the internal and external temperatures of the coconut can be increased evenly to achieve the drying effect.
Time: The drying time of coconut should be determined according to the size and water content of the coconut, generally it takes 10-20 hours. It is recommended that during the drying process, the drying state of the coconut should be constantly monitored to ensure that it can be dried evenly.
Humidity: During the drying process, to allow the coconut to better discharge moisture, it is recommended to control the humidity of the dryer between 40% and 60%.
- Preparation: Split the coconut and cut its pulp into pieces of the appropriate size.
- Place the coconut pieces on the tray inside the TROCKNNER dryer and make sure there is enough space between them so that air can circulate.
- Set the TROCKNNER dryer to a suitable temperature. The recommended temperature is 55 to 60 degrees Celsius, which will help preserve the nutritional value and flavor of the coconut pulp.
- Turn on the dryer and wait for the coconut pulp to dry, it may take several hours, the specific time depends on the size of the coconut block and the power of the machine.
- During the drying process, periodically check the dryness of the coconut meat. It is time to remove them if they begin to become brittle and lose moisture.
Attention
In short, set the TROCK - FOOD drying system to a temperature of 55 - 60 degrees Celsius, place the coconut meat pieces on the drying tray, turn on the machine and wait for the coconut meat to dry. However, exact drying times and temperatures may vary depending on the machine model and the size of the coconut pieces, so it is best to follow the recommendations in the machine manual for custom settings.
