Drying Kinetics of Microwave-Dried Vegetable Amaranth (Amaranthus dubius) Leaves

Journal of Food Research, 2016
The effect of microwave power level (200, 500, 700 and 1000W) on the drying behaviour of amaranth (Amaranthus dubius) leaves was investigated. Higher microwave power levels effected faster drying and there was an increase in drying rate constant (k) as microwave power level increased from 200 to 1000W and an increase in diffusivity (Deff) values from 3.
