dehydrate at 140

i was reading the a book published in 2003 about dehydrating foods that said that you can dehydrate foods at temperatures of 145 for the first forty five mins and then back down to 100 or so for the rest of the time.. something about how the perspiration keeps the fruit or veggie from having any enzyme damage. I have always heard to never go above 115 or so..?? anyone know the real answer?

  • In my Excalibur manual it stated that it was actually fine to dehydrate at 115 for the first three hours. I thought that was a bit much, but it cited raw experts.

  • Woops, I just checked again, it was actually 140. : )
