Microwave Drying of Quince Slices
Abstract
In this research, microwave drying characteristics on moisture ratio, drying rate of quince
slices were reported. Quince slices were dehydrated in a fan assisted microwave oven dryer. The
effects of microwave drying (180, 360, 540, 720 and 900W) on drying time, drying rate of quince
slices have been investigated. Quince slices were dried from 3.75 g water/g dry matter initial moisture
content to 0.12 g water/g dry matter final moisture content. In the microwave drying system, quinces
sliced into 5 mm thickness were dried at 180, 360, 540, 720 and 900W microwave drying powers.
During microwave drying experiments, slices were weighted and data recorded manually per 1
minute. The drying data were applied to nine different mathematical models, namely, Newton, Page,
Henderson and Pabis, Logarithmic, Midilli-Kucuk, Wang and Singh, Two Term, Verma, Two Term
Exponential, Diffusion Approach Equation Models. It was found that the Midilli-Kucuk model
described the drying curve satisfactorily in all drying methods.
