Radio frequency (RF) treatment technology has now been studied and used for kinds of food products as its rapid and volumetric heating effects. It is meaningful to study the characteristics of potato drying with a new RF treatment method. In this study, intermitted RF combined treatments were used to get high-efficiency dehydration effects for potato drying, but the impact and mechanism of RF radiation on drying efficiency or quality is still unknown. To explore the drying characteristics, the effects of different RF radiation and the associated intermittent periods on the characterization of color, crystalline, thermal, pasting, rheology, and structural properties of potato flour were systematically studied. Longer RF radiation period (7 min) has a positive effect on drying efficiency and quality. The effect of intermittent period was not as significant as that of RF radiation, but a slightly increasing trend of the quality properties with intermittent period also indicated the tempering effect. The combined action of RF intermittent treatment on potato drying was found and investigated in this study, which may support RF drying processing improvement.
射频(RF)处理技术因其快速和体积加热的效果,现在已经被研究并用于各种食品产品。研究一种新的 RF 处理方法对马铃薯干燥的特性具有重要意义。在这项研究中,采用间歇式 RF 联合处理以获得马铃薯干燥的高效脱水效果,但 RF 辐射对干燥效率或质量的影响和机制仍不清楚。为了探索干燥特性,系统研究了不同 RF 辐射和相关间歇时间对马铃薯粉颜色、结晶、热学、糊化、流变和结构特性的影响。较长的 RF 辐射周期(7 分钟)对干燥效率和质量有积极影响。间歇时间的影响不如 RF 辐射显著,但间歇时间对质量特性的略微增加趋势也表明了回火效应。本研究发现并研究了 RF 间歇处理对马铃薯干燥的联合作用,这可能有助于改进 RF 干燥处理。
