Drying or dehydration is the process of removing vaporisable substances such as water from solid materials in order to slow or stop microorganism growth or chemical reactions.

In traditional drying methods, heat is gradually transferred from the surface of the dried material to the interior due to the temperature difference between the hot surface of the product and the colder interior during the drying process.

Poppy Sterilisation in Microwave

Thus, first the surface and then the inner parts of the product dry and the hard layer formed on the outer surface of the product due to shrinkage prevents the transfer of heat to the inner parts and the moisture inside the product to the outside of the product. In microwave drying method, unlike traditional drying methods, since the electromagnetic field affects the material as a whole, a selective heating is performed by directly targeting the water molecules in the material. In this method, heat is generated directly in the product. The moisture in the product is evaporated by heating in very short periods of time and the moisture transfer is from inside to outside due to the vapour pressure difference in the inner and outer environment. Thus, the heat transfer problem occurring in traditional drying methods is eliminated in microwave drying method.

Industrial microwave poppy sterilisation is a method used to purify poppy seeds from harmful microorganisms by using microwave ovens. This method, using microwave energy, kills the microorganisms present in the poppy seeds and thus ensures that the poppy seeds have a longer shelf life. The industrial microwave poppy sterilisation process starts with the preparation of poppy seeds. The poppy seeds are first washed and cleaned and then properly placed. They are then treated at a certain temperature and time inside the microwave oven. Microwave energy penetrates the poppy seeds and kills the microorganisms present in them. In this way, poppy seeds are purified from microorganisms and become sterile. Poppy sterilisation in industrial microwave is a faster and more efficient method than conventional sterilisation methods. It also consumes less energy and takes up less space. Therefore, it is a suitable sterilisation method for industrial scale production enterprises. However, it is important to use appropriate temperature and time during the use of microwaves. Otherwise, the quality of poppy seeds may be affected.

Advantages

The advantages of poppy sterilisation in the industrial microwave are the following:

  • Speed and Efficiency: Microwave energy kills microorganisms inside poppy seeds more quickly and efficiently. Therefore, it saves time for businesses that produce on an industrial scale.
  • High Quality: Industrial microwave poppy sterilisation preserves the quality of poppy seeds. While microwave energy kills the microorganisms inside the poppy seeds, it does not damage the poppy seeds.
  • Longer Shelf Life: Purification of poppy seeds from microorganisms allows them to have a longer shelf life.
  • Energy Saving: Poppy sterilisation process in industrial microwave consumes less energy than traditional sterilisation methods. Therefore, it is a more economical method.
  • Space Saving: Microwave ovens take up less space than conventional sterilisation methods. Therefore, it is a more suitable method for businesses that produce on an industrial scale.
  • Environment Friendly: Industrial microwave poppy sterilisation is an environmentally friendly method by reducing the use of chemicals.
    Overall, microwave drying is a fast, energy-efficient and gentle drying method that helps to preserve the quality and flavour of dried tomatoes while also improving product safety.
