MICROWAVE-ASSISTED SPOUTED BED DRYING OF LETTUCE CUBES
Microwave-assisted spouted bed (MSBD) drying of lettuce cubes was investigated experimentally.Response surface methodology was used to optimize the process with spouting air temperature,microwave power level and superficial air velocity.The dried product obtained was compared with that obtained using other drying technologies such as hot air drying,air spouted bed drying,vacuum microwave drying and vacuum freeze drying.The comparison is based on the rehydration ratio,,chlorophyll content of product,color and the drying time required.
