“…A literature review has shown that several studies have been conducted on microwave drying. The studies are related to the production of husked cherry coffee (Cunha, Canto, & Marsaioli, 2003), coconut husk (Valadez-Carmona, Cortez-García, Plazola-Jacinto, Necoechea-Mondrágon, & Ortiz-Moreno, 2016), dried carrots (Béttega et al, 2014), strawberries (Böhm, Kühnert, Rohm, & Scholze, 2006), macadamia nuts (Silva, Maximo, Marsaioli, & Silva, 2007), and granulated solids (Berteli, Nogueira, & Marsaioli, 2015). However, there is a lack of studies on the microwave drying of Araucaria seeds.…”
