RAPIDRY - Low cost drying solutions for on farm food waste

英国在生产和加工过程中产生150万吨食物垃圾。许多材料在使用前需要稳定，干燥是一种常用的方法。生物质材料的干燥是一项能源密集型活动；目前的标准流程集中在使用带式干燥机和大量加热空气。RAPIDRY专注于快速高效干燥水果和蔬菜的能力，以保持最大的营养成分和食品安全。关键是要减少能源消耗，该项目将展示分布式多效干燥对食品和农业工业的能源效益。RAPIDRY将创造适合用于加工食品的食品成分，这将有助于增加健康和营养。

UK generates 1.5 Million tonnes of food waste during production and processing. Many materials require stabilisation before use, drying is a common method.Drying of biomass materials is an energy intensive activity; current standard processes are focused around the use of belt dryers and significant volumes of heated air.RAPIDRY is focused on the ability to quickly dry fruits and vegetables cost effectively to remain the maximum nutritional profile and food safety. Critical to this is to reduce the consumption of energy, the project will demonstrate the energy benefits of distributed multi effect drying to the food and farming industry.RAPIDRY will create food ingredients suitable for use in processed foods that will support increase health and nutrition.
