Solution(By Examveda Team)

The dehydration temperature sufficient for fruits is 66° - 71°C.
Drying or dehydration is the removal of the majority of water contained in the fruit or vegetable and is the primary stage in the production of dehydrated fruits and vegetables.
For fruits like apples, bananas, peaches, and nectarines, drying times will range from 6 to 16 hours. Apricots, grapes, figs and pears can take anywhere between 20 to 36 hours.
