Chestnut Drying Application
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.
Thus, first the surface and then the inner parts of the product are dried 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 carried out 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 the microwave drying method.
Industrial microwave technology is a method that enables chestnut drying to be done quickly and efficiently. This method preserves the nutritional value and flavour of chestnut while at the same time shortening the drying time. Chestnut drying process can be used in many areas such as food industry, agriculture and energy sectors. The industrial microwave drying process uses microwave energy to evaporate the moisture in the chestnut. In this way, the moisture content of the chestnut decreases and becomes durable for a long time. In addition, the industrial microwave drying process is faster compared to traditional drying methods and requires less energy to complete the drying process. Chestnut drying can also be done by baking or sun drying the chestnuts. However, since these methods are traditional, they take longer and consume more energy. In addition, the nutritional value and flavour of chestnuts may be reduced in these methods. The industrial microwave drying process also provides benefits in processes such as storage and shipment of chestnuts. Since dried chestnuts have low moisture content, they remain durable for a long time and the risk of decay during storage is reduced. In addition, dried chestnuts are lighter, which is also advantageous during shipment. As a result, industrial microwave chestnut drying technology is a fast, efficient and nutrient-preserving method. This method can be used in many areas such as the food industry, agricultural sector and energy sector and provides benefits in processes such as storage and shipment of chestnuts.
Advantages
Chestnut drying method in industrial microwave has many advantages. Some of them are as follows:
- Fast Drying: Microwave drying can be much faster than other drying methods because microwaves can directly heat the water molecules inside the tomatoes, which causes the water to evaporate faster.
- Preserving Nutritional Value: Microwave drying is more energy efficient than other drying methods because it heats the product directly instead of heating the surrounding air.
- Extending Shelf Life: Dried chestnuts have a longer shelf life. The drying process reduces the moisture content of food and prevents spoilage and mold. Dried chestnuts can be stored for months and have a longer shelf life.
- Flavor Preservation: Industrial microwave drying preserves the flavor of chestnuts. While traditional drying methods can reduce the flavor of chestnuts, the microwave drying method preserves the flavor of chestnuts.
As a result, the industrial microwave chestnut drying method is fast, efficient, nutrient-preserving, and delicious. It also provides longer shelf life, energy saving, efficiency, and ease of storage.
The industrial microwave chestnut drying method can be used in many sectors of the food industry. Some of them are :
- Food Industry: The chestnut drying method is widely used in the food industry. There are many different food products where dried chestnuts can be used.
- Restaurants: Restaurants can use dried chestnuts in different dishes. Especially in winter, when fresh chestnuts are not available, it is possible to benefit from dried chestnuts.
- Snack Production: It is possible to produce snacks from dried chestnuts. These snacks can be combined with different flavours.
- Cosmetics Industry: Chestnut is known to benefit skin health. It is possible to use dried chestnut in skin care products.
As a result, industrial microwave chestnut drying method can be used in different sectors such as food industry, restaurants, snack production, cosmetics industry
