摘要
Japanese radish (Raphanus sativus L.) slices were dried under an alternating current (AC) high electric field (HEF) of 430kV/rn using a multiple point electrode and a grounded copper mesh. HEF with multipoint to a mesh electrode system could evaporate 87.5% of the total moisture from fresh radish slices on 7h exposure. Oven-drying at 60 degreesC and ambient air at 25 degreesC for 7 h could dry 86.9% and 26.5% of the total moisture from the fresh radish slices respectively. The average rate of HEF drying from second hour to sixth hour was 0.025 g/min which was 0.00 12 g/min higher than the oven-drying. Quality factors for HEF-dried radish exhibited less shrinkage, high absorption of water, better rehydration, less solids loss and better color than the oven-drying.
