All living things such as humans and plants must have water to survive. Water gets recycled in a process called the water cycle. Evaporation is the change of liquid-water to water vapor. Evaporation of water occurs everyday whether it is in a cup or outside in a lake.
Evaporation is a major part of the water cycle.
A major section of food industry today is production of dry-foods. It is a great way to preserve food when not in need. All sorts of foods are dried including meats, vegetables, fruits and instant coffee products. Drying food is the process of evaporating all the interior water of a food product and in most cases this will be done in a hot air tunnel. Many seasonal products will be dried to reduce the cost of storage and distribution of the products during the year.
