Drying sclerotia with dry ice
    #10336206 - 05/14/09 02:57 AM (14 years, 10 months ago)

What do you think about this method of drying? You put sclerotia on top of the dry ice in a container with holes. When the dry ice evaporates it also binds the H20 molecules of the sclerotia that evaporate alongside with the CO2? Would it work?

You seriously can't find a food dehydrator or at least some Damp Rid? Dang.

Your dry ice idea isn't going to work.
CO2 doesn't 'bind' water molecules.

Get some desiccant and/or a fan.

You make it all possible. Doesn't it feel good?

the co2 might draw moisture out of you sclerotia but with a vacuum itll just be deposited on the exterior of the fruit

and even at that i cant see it effectivly removing all moisture for the inside
