Characteristics of Dried Grapes by Different Drying Methods

evaluation of microwave and convective finish drying parameters and drying effects on color of dried grapes

in this study, the possibility of microwave finish drying for two types of dried grapes (natural and sultana) was investigated. the samples were washed in water bath at given temperature ranges (25 and 45 c) for 30 to 60 minutes. after dewatering the samples, they were dried using microwave (at two powers: 270 and 450 w) and hot air convective dryer (at 50 c). water gain (%), effective moistu...

Antibacterial effect of citrus press-cakes dried by high speed and far-infrared radiation drying methods

In this study, the antibacterial effect was evaluated to determine the benefits of high speed drying (HSD) and far-infrared radiation drying (FIR) compared to the freeze drying (FD) method. Citrus press-cakes (CPCs) are released as a by-product in the citrus processing industry. Previous studies have shown that the HSD and FIR drying methods are much more economical for drying time and mass dry...

Effects of Pretreatments of Sliced Vegetables with Trehalose on Drying Characteristics and Quality of Dried Products

Effects of pretreatments with trehalose on drying of sliced vegetables (potato and carrot) were experimentally investigated. Two different pretreatment methods were tested. Sliced vegetables were steam-blanched and then immersed in a sugar solution. In another method sliced vegetables were coated with sugar powder, and then steam-blanched. Solid gain and water loss during pretreatment were meas...
