Microwave‐Assisted Drying of Foods – Equipment, Process and Product Quality

Abstract: Dehydration is one of the main methods used to preserve foods, keeping it in a stable and safe condition as dehydration reduces water activity and extends the shelf life of fresh fruits, vegetables and aquatic products by preventing microbial activity (Wang et al., 2011b;Mujumdar and Law, 2010;Zhang et al., 2006). Furthermore, there are some other objectives of dehydration, for example, quality enhancement, improving ease of handling, further processing, sanitation, and the development of new products (Duan et… Show more

“…Microwave assisted dehydration involves the transformation of electromagnetic energy into heat which is generated due to molecular excitation into the food product. Furthermore, this leads to a positive outflow of water resulting faster drying process and reduction in drying time up to 25-90% (Orsat et al, 2006;Wray and Ramaswamy, 2013;Wang et al, 2014;Abano, 2016). However, nonuniform heating of foods during microwave heating is the major drawback for its application in the food industry.…”

“…In the context of "carbon peaking and carbon neutrality", biomass pellet fuel as a drying heat source holds great potential for development [1][2][3]. Drying agricultural products is a crucial step in agricultural production and an important component of the entire mechanization process of grain production [4]. Conventional hot air drying uses coal as the heat source, but biomass fuel, as an important sustainable energy source [5], offers a viable alternative.…”
