Microwave Assisted Fluidized Bed Drying of Potato Cubes

Jitendra Kumar, A. K. Srivastava

Abstract :

The experiments were conducted to study the effect of microwave power, inlet air temperature and inlet air velocity on drying characteristics vis-à-vis on quality attributes of potato cubes dried in a microwave assisted fluidized bed dryer (MAFBD). The results were compared with those dried in the same fluidized bed dryer (FBD) but without microwave. MAFBD offered about 1.8 to 3.6 times reduction in drying time and yielded superior quality product.
