Abstract (Swedish)
This project was initiated by the food technology department of Lund University for a design study of a new developed technology to dry mashed fruits. A fabric with special parameters allows to preserve fruits, without using electricity, in a short period of time.
The given task consists of designing a “bag” to dry mashed and liquid fruit purée. The bag should be easy to fill, empty, clean and re-use. With consideration of a thickness limitation and a way to fill the bag without trapped air inside.
The focus is on domestic use of the product and the usability.
Before starting with the design aspect of the project, a food drying experiment phase followed by an analysis of potential users was conducted. The result showed a big opportunity... (More)

Before starting with the design aspect of the project, a food drying experiment phase followed by an analysis of potential users was conducted. The result showed a big opportunity to design a bag for long distance hikers, which have to be careful with the weight they carry with them.
The outcome of this project is a bag in two different sizes with a big opening, a valve and a clip. Food can be dried at home to bring it along for a trip or one can harvest and dry berries, herbs and other eat-able stuff while being on a tour. (Less)
