Dehydrating foods reduces the moisture in them to levels that inhibit the microbial growth that causes them to rot. Pre-treating some foods before drying preserves their flavor, color, and nutrients; prevents microbial contamination; and prolongs their shelf life. Dehydration reduces weight—an important consideration when shipping—and eliminates the need for refrigeration, making it easier to pre-mix retail products.

There is a book called “The Solar Food Dryer” which has instructions to build one which is a little bit different than this one, but still the same concept. It’s copyrighted 2005 and written by Eben Fodor.
