Dehydrating
The Solar Reduction
Sustained warm air drawn across matter until the water surrenders. What remains is the substrate's essence at quadruple concentration — flavor as a fossil of its former self.

TARGETMOISTURE < 20%
KINETIC_PROFILE
A whisper of thermal voltage paired with a relentless air current. The system never cooks — it escorts water molecules off the surface as fast as capillarity can deliver them.

MASS_TRANSFER_EQUATION
ṁ = h_m · A · (Cs − C∞)Evaporation rate scales with surface area and the humidity differential of the moving air.

MOLECULAR_INTERACTION
Capillary Moisture Migration
Interior water wicks outward through cellular capillaries to replace what the air current claims. Run the voltage too high and the surface case-hardens, sealing moisture inside to spoil — the cardinal failure of the impatient.

Flavor Concentration
Sugars, acids, and glutamates remain while their solvent departs — concentration factors of 4–6× rewrite the substrate's flavor signature into something denser and darker.

HISTORICAL_RECORD
Dehydration is one of humanity's oldest food preservation techniques, dating back to prehistoric times. Sun-drying fruits, vegetables, and meats was practiced across ancient civilizations including Egypt, China, and the Middle East.
