Abstract
The effect of dual-frequency ultrasonic vacuum drying technology on viscous materials has not been studied. Therefore, in this research, the effects of two (28 + 28 kHz, 40 + 40 kHz) dual-frequency ultrasonic vacuum drying methods on the drying characteristics and quality of honey were investigated using ultrasonic power, vacuum and temperature as one-factor experiment. Results showed that ultrasonic power was the main drying factor, followed by vacuum degree, and temperature. Among the six models, the Logarithmic model was the most accurate one to describe the change rule of honey moisture during the ultrasonic vacuum drying process. Drying temperature and ultrasonic power were the main factors that affected the change of sugar composition and hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) content in honey. Meanwhile, the color of honey after drying was darkened, the hardness was increased, while the viscosity was reduced. In summary, the optimal ultrasonic drying combination was 28 + 28 kHz ultrasonic frequency, 80 W ultrasonic power, −90 kPa vacuum degree and 30 °C temperature. This research provides essential information for equipment improvements for ultrasound in food processing and for future research on viscous materials.
期刊介绍:
LWT - Food Science and Technology is an international journal that publishes innovative papers in the fields of food chemistry, biochemistry, microbiology, technology and nutrition. The work described should be innovative either in the approach or in the methods used. The significance of the results either for the science community or for the food industry must also be specified. Contributions written in English are welcomed in the form of review articles, short reviews, research papers, and research notes. Papers featuring animal trials and cell cultures are outside the scope of the journal and will not be considered for publication.
