Effect of Temperature‐Controlled Microwave Drying on the Physicochemical and Microbiological Properties of Kefir Powder

In this study, the physicochemical and microbiological properties of kefir powders produced using a drying system modified by microwave temperature‐control (MTCM) and foam‐mat drying (FMD) were evaluated. The color parameters ( L , a , and b ) of the kefir powders ranged between 89.68–91.16, −1.54–(−4.48), an...

Temperature-controlled microwave drying as a novel route to functional pomegranate peel: kinetic, energy consumption, quality

Assessment of the effects of drying temperatures on effective moisture diffusion and quality properties of purple carrot slices dried by hot air method

This study examined the influence of hot-air drying temperature on the moisture ratio (MR), drying rate (DR), effective moisture diffusivity (Deff), color characteristics (L, a, b, C, and ΔE), and hardness (N) of purple carrot slices. A clear temperature-dependent response was observed for both the drying behavior and...
