“…As well, the tough outer skin of the ginger made moisture diffusion to the ginger's surface more difficult (Jia et al 1993). However, the outward flux of vapour and generated vapour pressure during MW-assisted drying, can help to prevent the shrinkage of tissue structure (Feng et al 2001). …”

This review paper included the recent progress made in heat pump assisted drying, its principle, mechanism and efficiency, type and its application for drying of agricultural produce. Heat pump assisted drying provides a controllable drying environment (temperature and humidity) for better products quality at low energy consumption. It has remarkable future prospects and revolutionaries ability. The heat pump system consists of an expansion valve, two heat exchangers (evaporator and condenser), and a compressor, which are connected by using copper tubes. In this paper we also provided a review discussion on different type of heat pump assisted drying system ready for remarkable and commercial use in different type of food industries. Here we also have given some major advantage and disadvantage of heat pump assisted drying.

“…5b) was faster when compared to HA drying alone (Fig. 6), since a positive temperature gradient remained due to RF heating and thus the vapour pressure gradient from the sample centre towards the surface enhanced the drying process (Feng et al, 2001;Wang et al, 2014b).…”
