Microwave dryers are widely used in food. The following are several of their main uses in food processing:

1. Rapid drying and dehydration

Microwave dryers can quickly remove moisture from food and achieve rapid drying. This is especially applicable to foods that need to be dehydrated quickly, such as vegetables, fruits, meat, seafood, etc. Through microwave drying, the original color, taste and nutritional value of the food can be maintained, while the shelf life of the food can be extended.

2. Sterilization and disinfection

Microwave dryers not only have drying functions, but also sterilize and disinfect food. Under the action of microwaves, the microbial cells in the food will quickly heat up, causing protein denaturation and cell wall rupture, thereby achieving a sterilization effect. This is of great significance for improving the sanitary quality and safety of food.

3. Rapid thawing and heating

In addition to drying and sterilization, microwave dryers can also be used for rapid thawing and heating of food. For frozen foods, microwave dryers can quickly thaw them to a suitable temperature, which is convenient for subsequent processing and cooking. At the same time, microwave dryers can also be used for heating and heat preservation of food to ensure that the temperature of food is stable during processing and storage.

4. Puffing and brittleness

Microwave dryers also have significant effects on food puffing and brittleness. By adjusting the power and time of microwaves, the moisture inside the food can be precisely controlled, thereby achieving puffing and brittleness of the food. This is especially applicable to making crispy foods such as potato chips and nuts.

5. Baking and roasting

Microwave dryers can also be used for baking and roasting of food. By adjusting the power and time of microwaves, the heating method of traditional ovens can be simulated to produce a variety of delicious baked foods, such as bread, cakes, biscuits, etc.

6. Seasoning and marinating

Microwave dryers also play an important role in the seasoning and marinating process of food. The heating effect of microwaves can accelerate the penetration and diffusion of seasonings and marinades, making the food more flavorful.

In summary, microwave dryers are widely used in food, including rapid drying and dehydration, sterilization and disinfection, rapid thawing and heating, puffing and brittleness, baking and roasting, seasoning and marinating, etc. These applications not only improve the production efficiency and sanitary quality of food, but also enrich the variety and taste of food.
