Drying times may also vary greatly from one area to another and from day to day, depending on the climatic conditions. Keep records to help you predict drying times for specific foods. Drying TemperatureFruits, fruit rolls and vegetables should be dried at 130F to 140F (55C to 60C). By drying foods in this temperature range you will minimize the loss of heatsensitive vitamins A and C. All foods sweat when they begin to dry, the temperature may be set higher than 140F (60C) during the first couple of hours of drying. The actual temperature of the food will remain 15F to 20F (6o to 8oC) lower t
