Useful ideas. I concur that it is more complex than the graphic might suggest. Too slow, and the fruits will spoil or get mould growing on them before they can dry. Too hot, and the fruits are cooked. Dehydration is (for the most part) only practical for thin slices of lower-moisture fruits. Whenever possible, fresh food is best.
