Microwave Finish Drying of Diced Apples in a Spouted Bed

Abstract: The combination of a spouted bed with microwave heating to improve heating uniformity was evaluated. Experiments were performed on a laboratory system in which evaporated diced apples of about 24% moisture were dried to about 5% at 70ЊC air temperature using four levels of microwave power density (0 to 6.1 W/g). With the combination method, temperature uniformity in diced apples was greatly improved as compared to that with a stationary bed during microwave drying. Products had less discoloration and higher re… Show more

“…Nonetheless, the differences in rehydration ratio among driers were statistically not significant. In practice, most changes caused by pre-drying and drying treatments are irreversible, and rehydration cannot be considered as simply as a process reversible to dehydration (Lewicki 1998;Feng and Tang 1998). The poor regression values showed that driers almost act similarly on the account of rehydration of slices and segments.…”

“…A desvantagem desta técnica está na possibilidade de saturação da umidade, principalmente quando não há sistema de troca de ar. Devido à baixa condutividade termal dos vegetais durante o aquecimento, o calor é transferido para as suas partes internas, o que muitas vezes, não ocorre uma distribuição uniforme de energia térmica, conforme a natureza da droga vegetal (Feng & Tang, 1998).…”

“…The basic objective in the drying of food products is the removal of water from fresh product reaching a level at which microbial spoilage is avoided (Calin-Sánchez et al 2014). Hot air dying has many disadvantages such as lower energy efficiency, long drying times, but on the other hand it has been used widely (Feng & Tang 1998;Pan et al 2008a). Infrared (IR) heating has many advantages compared to the widely used hot air drying.…”
