Abstract

Drying method is used for dehydrating food for long-term preservation.Hot-air drying is not suitable for drying heat-sensitive food,and the product qualities is poor;vacuum freeze-drying is able to overcome these disadvantages,but to much time and low efficiency.This paper provides a new drying technology,controlled freezing-point drying.Taken carrot as the experimental material,the controlled freezing-point dried processing is studied.The result was compared with the vacuum freeze-drying and hot-air drying.The result were : at the pressure of 150 Pa,after 4 hours of drying,water content of carrot was 4.8%.The results also showed that rehydration was better,Vc and carotene in carrots were merely lost,the carrots kept nice color and appearance.Compared with freeze-drying,drying time significantly reduced.
