The literature surveyed revealed that drying kinetics of white mulberry under microwave treatment has not been investigated. In present study, both experimental study and mathematical modeling on microwave drying of white mulberry was performed. The microwave drying process which reduced the moisture content of mulberry from 3.76 to 0.25 (g water/g dry matter) was carried out at 90, 180, 360, 600, and 800 W in a modified microwave drying set-up. The effects of microwave drying technique on the moisture ratio and drying rate of white mulberry were investigated experimentally. Both the effects of microwave power level (under the range of 90-800W) and initial sample weight (50-150g) were studied. No constant rate period was observed. Mathematical modeling of thin layer drying kinetics of white mulberry under microwave treatment was also investigated by fitting the experimental drying data to eight thin layer drying models. Among the models proposed, Midilli et al. model precisely represented the microwave drying behavior of white mulberry with the coefficient of determination higher than 0.999 and mean square of deviation (χ 2 ) and root mean square error (RMSE) lower than 1.1x10 -4 and 8.9x10 -3 , respectively for all the microwave drying conditions studied. The effective moisture diffusivity (D eff ) of white mulberry varied from 0.45 x10 -8 to 3.25x10 -8 m 2 s -1 . Both the drying constant (k) and D eff increased with the increase of microwave power level.

“…About 105 g of the prepared samples were uniformly spread in a thin layer (thickness of layer ≈ 2 cm) on the tray and dried to around 0.1291±0.009 moisture content (kg water/kg dry matter). The moisture content calculation was based on the following equation (Usub et al, 2010):…”

-Different aspects of soybean drying such as energy and exergy analyses, quality, mass transfer parameters, and modeling of drying kinetics were investigated in a microwave dryer. Results showed that energy and exergy efficiency increased with increasing microwave power, while values of energy efficiency (33.70 to 66.0%) were higher than exergy efficiency ( m/s, respectively. The activation energy was found to be 4.98 W/g for a diffusion model and 5.33 W/g for a mass transfer model. Among the models, the Page model was found to best describe the drying behavior of soybean.
