Abstract
Carrot slices dried using the microwave, as well as halogen lamps, microwave and hot air drying.
Microwaves and halogen lamps, combination microwave drying is used after dried carrots 0.47 kg water / kg dry by hot air drying.
Drying time to restore the capacity of carrots and dried by different methods were compared.
The increase in microwave power level drops at drying oven.
The maximum power microwave drying and combination microwave halogen bulbs.
Drying reduces the drying time is extended by 98% when compared to drying. conventionalhot Dry air and high quality products.
That was also the case with a halogen lamp combination microwave drying moisture levels decreased to a level where it belongs.
Lower than the one achieved by other means less color shift that occurs when a halogen lamp, microwave and microwave.
Drying combination was used. Dried carrots in the microwave and combination microwave ovens halogen bulbs with lower L * higher.
a * and b * values and a higher return compared to the drying air.
