Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, there are two major problems when simple microwave freeze-drying is used for the dehydration of high-moisture food raw materials: 1) After a large amount of water in the material is frozen, the water molecules are greatly constrained, so its dielectric coefficient is very low in the microwave field, such as at 2450MHz In the microwave field, its dielectric coefficient drops from 78.2 of water to 3.2 of ice (Tang, 2005), resulting in a rapid decline in its ability to absorb microwave energy. Therefore, pure microwave freeze-drying is currently limited to the dehydration of low-moisture food materials; 2) Due to the huge difference in the dielectric coefficient of ice and water, the microwave energy that is applicable to the frozen state of the material water becomes the sublimation interface of the material and thaws into water, which in turn becomes the heat source for overheating and coking of the product

Abstract

A dielectric core method for shortening the time taken by microwave freeze-drying of fruit-vegetable powder includes such steps as choosing raw materials, conventional pre-treating, slicing, beating, adding the high-dielectric-constant titanium oxide ceramic nano-particles, amino acid and sugar or salt to form dielectric cores, quick freezing, microwave vacuum freeze-drying, and pulverizing. It features less loss of nutrients.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention discloses a method for shortening the microwave freeze-drying time of fruit and vegetable powder by adopting a dielectric inner core, which belongs to the technical field of fruit and vegetable food processing, relates to energy-saving processing of high-quality dehydrated fruits and vegetables, and is mainly used for energy-saving production of high-quality dehydrated fruits and vegetables. Background technique [0002] Vacuum freeze-drying (lyophilization for short) has become the most popular dehydration method for preserving heat-sensitive active substances in food and biological products due to the low temperature and the basically anaerobic condition of the whole process (Xu, Min and Mujumdar, 2004). However, due to the low electric heat transfer efficiency of ordinary freeze-drying, it often takes a long time to dehydrate food with high moisture content, so its operating cost is high (Zhang Min et al., 2001); in addition, various ha...
