I've added a {{ overcoverage }} tag to the list of manufacturers, but I'm not sure it adds anything to the article and it could be removed altogether. Thoughts from other contributors? --Old Moonraker (talk)17:42, 20 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

The article says: "Drying is rarely used for vegetables as it removes the vitamins within them". How does removing water also remove vitamins? Do the vitamins evaporate with the water content? Is this only something that happens with sun-drying, or would commercial food dehydrators also remove vitamins?141.151.23.70 (talk)01:31, 18 March 2009 (UTC)Reply
I've just deleted an inline link tothis file because I couldn't understand it. That isn't to say that it couldn't be captioned in such a way as to make it intelligible: for example it's included, with a caption, inFreeze drying (but I could barely understand it there either!). If we are going to go with this, the picture atFile:Phase-diag2.svg includes more detailed labelling of what's going on and has better screen rendition. --Old Moonraker (talk)06:38, 30 May 2010 (UTC)Reply
Does anyone know what happened to reference 1: (1 ^ Grandidier (1899), p. 521), and what it said?— Precedingunsigned comment added by213.46.17.99 (talk)13:13, 7 September 2011 (UTC)Reply
I suggest strongly that grain drying be moved to a separate page. The shear volume of material here reflects that it is a discipline in its own right. Please, separate and cite the grain drying section. And expand the remaining food drying sections.IveGoneAway (talk)06:16, 4 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

Drying (food) →Food drying –WP:NATURALDIS. This isn't about a food called drying, nor does the word "drying" here have a food-specific meaning. The subtopical articlegrain drying is not atdrying (grain), either.210.6.254.106 (talk)03:34, 28 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

In order to improve the article maybe the layout should be changed in order to add more information. For example, if the article was organized by food types then there could be more detail on the way each type of food is dried (meats, fruit, veggie, etc). There definitely needs to be more information on each food group and the specifics involved.
Also, I'm not sure if Yahoo! Voices is a source that should be used. It might be useful to go into peer-reviewed articles and scientific books about the topic that were used to form the ideas mentioned in this source. This would also be useful because there are not many sources right now.
There is also some unclear wording under "Food Types". Not sure what it is meant by "fruits change character completely when dried".— Precedingunsigned comment added byAmaziarz (talk •contribs)16:54, 11 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
