The present invention and heated-air drying, heat pump drying experiment are compared:
Fig. 2 provides material moisture decline curve in the heated-air drying of green pepper and the heat pump drying process.The heated-air drying condition is: 65 ℃ of temperature, hothouse air velocity 2.2m/s.The heat pump drying condition is: 35 ℃ of temperature, hothouse inlet air relative humidity 41.0%, air velocity 2.2m/s.Rate of drying is apparently higher than heat pump drying in the hot-air drying process, during heat pump drying, after material moisture is reduced to 20%, doing wet interface shrinks back to the material center, the thermal conductivity factor in outside dried district is little, heat is difficult to be delivered to dried wet interface water supply and divides vaporization, whole dry run is subjected to the heat conducting control in Gan Qu position, so rate of drying is slow, material moisture is reduced to 12% from 20% needs 1 hour, moisture continues to descend needs the longer time (see figure 3), and this promptly is that heat pump drying characteristics-later stage rate of drying is slow.
Though heated-air drying speed is fast, its poor product quality, all relatively poor as the preservation of nutritional labeling in color and luster, rehydration and the product etc.If adopt pure heat pump drying, in order to reach the moisture (being generally less than 10%) of product regulation, then will reach 10-15 hour drying time, this causes the processing power consumption too high, and output descends, and processing cost raises, more seriously, under the heat pump drying temperature, long-time drying causes chemical constituent generation oxidation reaction such as nutritional labeling and pigment in a large amount of breedings of microorganism and the product, and product quality descends equally.
In order to overcome the shortcoming of heated-air drying and heat pump drying, this device adopts the combined drying mode.Fig. 3 provides the rate of water loss of material in hot blast, heat pump and the combined drying process.Hot blast is identical with the test described in heat pump drying condition and Fig. 2, the combined drying mode be: begin to adopt heat pump drying in 2 hours, adopt heated-air drying later on.Compare with heat pump drying, shorten drying time significantly, heat pump drying 8 hours, and moisture just reaches 10.5%, combined drying 4.5 hours, moisture has reached 6.5%; The quality color and luster of product, the air-dry dry lifting significantly of nutritional labeling specific heat, because the later stage adopts heated-air drying both to shorten process time, high temperature can also reach bactericidal effect.Therefore, there is not microbiological pollution in the combined drying product.With the heated-air drying comparison, although combined drying time ratio heated-air drying is grown about 1 hour, product quality is obviously improved.
The reason of the shortening of combined drying time, good product quality is: adopt low temperature drying in the dry incipient stage, the surface crust phenomenon that often occurs when material can be avoided high temperature drying, make the surface form loose structure with good permeability, this for the later stage when dry overflowing of steam kept passage, porous surface has reduced the resistance when moisture outwards transmits on the one hand, has improved the rehydration of product on the other hand.
The main quality index of dehydrated vegetables has: color and luster, nutritional labeling retention rate and rehydration.
1, various dry products nutritional labelings relatively
Some nutrition, pigment composition because chemical change takes place the facilitation of temperature easily, especially are in the aqueous environment at these compositions of the incipient stage of drying in dry run in the vegetables.During heated-air drying, in the environment that these nutrition in the cell tissue of material surface and pigment composition are in high-moisture, chemical change takes place easily, this is the main cause of high temperature drying product difference.For the quality of product is described, we have optionally detected some compositions in raw material and the product, as carrotene, vitamin C and chlorophyll content, shown in Fig. 4,5.
The result shows that the combined drying product quality is best, and heat pump drying takes second place, and the heated-air drying product quality is the poorest.
In the combined drying process, initial stage of drying adopts the hot pump in low temp drying, the material surface is in low-temperature condition, so it is dry little to these components influence, the later stage of drying adopts heated-air drying, although surface temperature is higher, the surface was in and did the district this moment, moisture is low, and temperature reduces the influence of nutritional labeling and pigment.In material inside, most heats were absorbed by the moisture vaporization after heat was delivered to dried wet interface from the outside, so it is not high to do wet interface internal temperature, this zone component is subjected to externally temperature influence relatively little.Combined drying product quality that Here it is is reason preferably.
The storage rate (%) of different dry products nutritional labelings of table 1 and pigment
| Carrotene | Vitamin C | Chlorophyll |
Heated-air drying | 59 | 52 | 61 |
Heat pump drying | 80 | 68 | 71 |
Combined drying | 92 | 86 | 81 |
Freeze drying * | 95 | 91 | 92 |
Table 1 is listed the storage rate of four kinds of drying means converted products nutritional labelings, pigment.Adopt the first hot pump in low temp drying combined drying method of heated-air drying again, the various component storage rates of product are apparently higher than heated-air drying, and are also good than pure heat pump drying, approach lyophilisation product.
2, various dry products rehydrations relatively
Fig. 6 represents the rehydration of carrot slice heated-air drying and heat pump drying product.Fig. 7 represents carrot slice hot blast, heat pump and the rehydration of combined drying product.The air-dry dry product of the rehydration specific heat of heat pump drying product is good, shows that rehydration speed is fast, the rehydration ratio is high.
During heated-air drying, because the temperature height, protein denaturation, a sugar part fusing cause the material table face easily to crust, and product interior tissue glass transition is so rehydration is poor.
The rehydration of heated-air drying, heat pump drying and combined drying carrot product is compared.The rehydration of combined drying product is than the dry high 12-16% of heat pump, the air-dry dry high 18-20% of specific heat.The rehydration ratio of 30 minutes dry products of three kinds of drying modes is respectively: combined drying 5.6, heat pump drying 5.0, heated-air drying 4.5.According to literature value, 30 minutes rehydration of lyophilisation product ratio is 7.0.As seen adopt the rehydration of combined drying processed dehydrated victual more to approach lyophilisation product.
