Drying Herbs with a Smart Dehydrator

Abstract

This paper discusses different drying methods for herbs and vegetables and demonstrates the benefits of using a dehydrator over other methods. Not all temperatures are ideal for drying herbs; there are various precautions and specific temperatures to obtain high-quality herbs. It also discusses the smart dehydrator, which is built with a PID control system and can be controlled by an IOT platform. Arduino Uno is responsible for the PID control system. This dehydrator is a smart dehydrator. Various herbs were dried as a sample and yielded positive results.
