A review of microwaves for food processing
A. J. H. Sale · 1976
Microwave heating alone has led to few commercial successes but combined with conventional heating it has greater potential and several successful processes.
Plain English Summary
Microwave heating alone has led to few commercial successes but combined with conventional heating has greater potential and several successful processes. Successful applications include pasta drying using a combination of microwave heating with hot air that reduces drying time from about 10 hours to about half an hour, and doughnut proofing that reduces proofing time from 30-40 minutes to 4 minutes with more than twenty units installed.
Finding
Microwave heating on its own has led to few commercially successful processes; however, when combined with conventional sources of heat, microwave heating appears to have greater potential, and has led to several successful processes.
In their words
“Microwave heating on its own has led to few commercially successful processes; however, when combined with conventional sources of heat, microwave heating appears to have greater potential, and has led to several successful processes.”
