Rapid Measurement of Candida utilis Dry Weight with Microwave Drying
Journal of Food Protection, 1985 A microwave oven has been used to measure biomass concentration and construct a growth curve for Candida utilis ATCC 1084. Drying curve results show that when a sample was exposed to microwave radiation for 15 min, microwave and air oven dry weight results are within 4 mg of one another when dried at the "cook" power setting (approximately 630 W at ...
