How to Dry Papaya/Dehydrate Papaya in a Dehydrator

Jul 17, 2021

Introduction to papaya：

Papaya can be eaten after being boiled in water or dipped in sugar liquid. It can be used as medicine to relieve alcohol and eliminate phlegm. Papaya has obvious health care functions, and can be used as papaya juice drink, papaya preserves, papaya fruit wine, papaya fruit vinegar, etc.

Papaya processing steps：

Choose seven or eight mature papaya, after cleaning, peel and remove seeds with a stainless steel knife, cut into slices by hand or shredder, blanch them in 90℃-100℃ water for 3-5 minutes, then pick them up and immerse them in cold water to quickly cool .
1. Dyeing
Take natural food colorings of different colors such as red and green, add water to dissolve them separately, put the papaya slices in the dyeing solution, and drain the slices after they are colored.
2. Candied
Mix the melon slices and sucrose into a jar for pickling. After the melon shreds seep out of water, add sucrose to make the sugar solution concentration above 40%, and continue to soak for 48 hours.

Papaya drying process：

Take out the papaya slices, drain the sugar solution, and place it in the material tray. Insert the material tray into the compartment of the material truck with an interval of 10 cm between each layer. Push the material truck into the drying room. According to the 14P drying host, it is equipped with a drying room of 7.5 meters long, 3 meters wide, and 2.2 meters high, which can be loaded into 12 material carts with a length of 1.2 meters, a width of 1 meter and a height of 1.7 meters at a time. Centimeters, it can be loaded with 3,000 kg of cut papaya slices at a time, and dried at 60℃-65℃, the time is set for 18 hours, and the system will continue to dehumidify until the drying is completed.

Recommendation of papaya dryer/drying machine

Commercial 100-3000kg/h large amount of dehydration wide application and easy operation

Heat pump drying machine use the principle of inverse Carnot cycle. It absorbs low-temperature heat energy in the air, which becomes high-temperature heat energy after efficient heat collection and integration by the heat pump system, and is transported to the drying room for cyclic heating and drying of materials.It refers to exhausting the hot and humid air in the drying room directly to the outside of the drying room through dehumidification device, and then replenishing natural fresh air.

Hot air circle drying machine belongs to high temperature heat pump unit. Its working principle is: the working fluid of the heat pump is compressed by the compressor, becomes high temperature and high pressure gas, enters the condenser, condenses and liquefies the heat, and is used for air heating in the drying room. The moisture in the material is vaporized and evaporated by the form of hot air, and the evaporated water vapor is discharged by the moisture discharge system, thereby achieving the purpose of drying the drying material.
