Abstract

This paper studies the effect of different microwave power levels, heating time, intermittent time and slice thickness on the drying kinetics of papaya slices. The influence towards the color appearance, the papaya microwave intermittent drying characteristics and the tendency of water loss were obtained. The results indicated that the drying rate of papaya during the microwave intermittent drying consistently declined with the change of microwave power levels. Meanwhile, the paper made comparison of the papaya drying qualities within different factors, which providing reference for the later practical using.
