Drying apricots in an electric dehydrator typically takes about 8 to 12 hours at a temperature of 135°F (57°C). The exact time can vary based on the size and moisture content of the apricots, so it's important to check them periodically. They should be pliable and have no moisture when done. Always refer to your dehydrator's manual for specific guidelines.
To dry apricots with sulfur, first soak the apricots in a solution of water and sulfur dioxide for a brief period. Next, remove the apricots from the solution and let them dry in the sun or a dehydrator until they reach the desired level of dryness. Make sure to follow safety guidelines when handling sulfur dioxide.

Set the dehydrator to a low temperature, around 95F to 115F, and dry the herbs for 1-4 hours, checking regularly for dryness. Store the dried herbs in airtight containers away from light and heat.

Take the raw coconut and put into a food dehydrator.
Depends on what you are drying. When I dry onion tops, celery, bell peppers, etc, I just spread the chopped item on my racks and dry them. ( I use a great home made dehydrator ) If you want to dry things like strawberries, banana's, apricots, etc., you can rinse the fruit in lemon juice to preserve their color. I could care less if my apricots turn a little brown, so I do not bother. How you store it after drying, is also a factor. Herbs I keep in jars in the pantry. Fruits I put in zip-locs in the freezer. You have to consider how long you plan on keeping the dried food. If you are going to store it for a long time, use the lemon. Drying is easy . . . Good Luck !
Slice an orange very thin. Then put the slices in a dehydrator.
