Pre-treatment improves nutritional, sensorial and functional properties of the dehydrated food without changing its integrity. It also improves the texture as well as stability of the pigment during dehydration and the storage of dehydrated product [5, 6]. Carrot can be dried in either a mechanical dryer or a solar dryer. In mechanical dryer temperature usually remains higher than solar dryer. This leads to high production rates and improved quality products due to shorter drying time and reduction of the risk of insect infestation and microbial spoilage. Since mechanical drying is not dependent on solar light, it can be done as and when necessary.
