Some of the major problems are mentioned for consideration in the experimental stage e.g., the fragility of product, the effect of heat and compression on the final quality of the product. Success has been claimed in compressing some products at different laboratories such as cabbage furthermore, disappointments were reported in the trials to compress other dehydrated products such as potatoes.
