Preserve by removing all liquid (9)

I believe the answer is:

dehydrate

(Other definitions for dehydrate that I've seen before include "Remove moisture from, make dry" , "Remove water from" , "Drain" , "Remove moisture content from, dry out" , "Preserve by removing all liquid from" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
