Seasoning is an indispensable existence in daily life. It can increase the color and aroma of dishes, satisfy the sensory needs of consumers and stimulate appetite, which is beneficial to human health. Spices mainly refer to vanilla and spices. Vanilla is the leaves of all kinds of plants, mostly air-dried or ground. Whether it is air-dried or ground, the final drying sterilization treatment is needed. The new condiment microwave drying equipment developed by our company is a relatively mature microwave drying sterilization equipment in the application of food industry.

The new condiment microwave drying equipment can not only be used for drying and sterilizing pepper, chili noodles, curry powder, cumin powder, garlic slices, ginger slices, pepper, cinnamon, Paeonia lactiflora, Angelica dahurica and other condiment foods, but also for drying and sterilizing various small packaged foods, bottled foods, cakes, biscuits, preserved fruits, bean products, cooked foods and other powder condiment foods. It can also be used for dehydration, drying, sterilization and anti-mildew treatment of sugar, dried fruit, tea and grain products, and microwave thawing treatment of quick-frozen food and seafood.

Compared with traditional drying, the new microwave drying equipment for condiments is better：

1.Microwave drying machine has selective heating. Because water molecules absorb microwave best, the part with high water content absorbs more microwave power than the part with low water content. This is the characteristic of selective heating, which can be used to achieve uniform heating and drying.

2.Condiment microwave dryer is energy-saving and efficient. Microwave directly acts on the material, so there is no additional heat loss. The air in the furnace and the corresponding container will not heat, so the thermal efficiency is very high, and the production environment is also significantly improved. Compared with far-infrared heating, it can save 30% electricity. Short time and high efficiency. Microwave heating is a process in which the heated object itself becomes a heater without heat conduction. Microwave penetrates the interior and exterior of the object from all sides and makes the object heated uniformly in a very short time, which greatly shortens the drying time.

3.Condiment drying and sterilization equipment is easy to control and advanced technology. Compared with the conventional method, the equipment is ready to use; there is no thermal inertia, flexible and convenient operation; microwave power can be adjusted, transmission speed can be adjusted. In microwave heating and drying, there is no waste water and no waste gas. It is a safe and harmless high-tech.

With the rapid development of economy, the application of microwave drying machinery and equipment is becoming more and more popular. The application of microwave drying technology in China originated in the early 1970s, and has been used in light industry, chemical industry and food processing of agricultural products.

Expanding the usage and application scope of microwave condiment drying equipment in China’s food industry can promote the use of microwave drying equipment in health products industry with higher added value, and then gradually extend to other food industries. Microwave is a kind of high frequency electromagnetic wave, which can be used as energy. Water molecule in food is polar molecule. Under the action of microwave, water molecule rotates accordingly. Such high-speed operation results in violent friction and collision between molecules, which generates heat and makes materials heated and dried. Therefore, microwave heating is a kind of medium heating, which is heated both inside and outside of the material. It is also a heating method of microwave drying equipment which is different from conventional heating.
