Abstract:The present study was focused on microwave (dielectric) roasting (300-600 W, 5-15 min) on the physical, textural, color, and grinding of black pepper. The microwave roasting is a volumetric heating that causes rapid removal of moisture, and internal pressure generated inside the seed tends to change the physiology and physical attributes. An increase in roasting power and time increased the geometric mean diameter (5.216 to 6.283 mm), sphericity (0.883 to 0.927), aspect ratio (0.853 to 0.914), and surface area… Show more
