“…Therefore, improvement of heating non‐uniformity is on the grounds of mixing, intermittent stirrings, conveyor belt movement, hot‐air flux, inclosing material and electrode gap . However, characterization of heating non‐uniformity is still an issue for pasteurizing food . Using infrared photography technology, we acquired more information on hot‐spot and cold‐spot concerning heating non‐uniformity.…”

BACKGROUND: Young barley grass powder contains abundant nutrition and its antioxidant substances are severely impaired by radiation ( 60 Co) sterilization. To overcome product quality degradation, radiofrequency pasteurization was conducted using pilot-scale radiofrequency equipment (27 MHz, 6 kW) with electrode gaps of 12, 14 and 16 cm, while hot-air (80 ∘ C) pasteurization was used for comparison. RESULTS: Assessment suggested that uneven radiofrequency heating was improved for the 14 cm electrode gap. With an increase of electrode gap, microbial inactivation needs more energy consumption. A minimum energy consumption of 970 J g −1 was required for 1 log-reduction of colonies. Radiofrequency pasteurization retained better antioxidant substances, lightness (L*), green color (a*) and odors in barley grass powder, compared with hot-air sterilization. Contents of flavonoid and chlorophyll were 5.82 and 4.87 g kg −1 respectively, using the 14 cm electrode gap. Additionally, radiofrequency pasteurization led to an improvement in sourness, bitterness and umami tastes. CONCLUSIONS: Radiofrequency pasteurization would be a superior alternative for the pasteurization of barley grass powder.

A radio-frequency (RF) generator applied in drying technology was designed and manufactured for drying Ganoderma lucidum. The drying experiments were conducted by drying method of RF-assisted heat pump in order to inspect the operating parameters of the RF generator and investigate the effects of the input drying parameters on drying rate in the RF-assisted heat pump drying of Ganoderma lucidum. The results have shown that the RF generator achieved the required operating parameters as design such as RF power of 3 kW and operating frequency of 27 MHz. In RF-assisted heat pump drying, increase in RF power and drying air temperature increases the drying rate. Meanwhile, drying air velocity does not significantly affect the drying rate. At RF power of 1.95 kW, the drying time reduces by 9, 17, and 33% in comparison with RF power of 1.3, 0.65, and 0 kW (heat pump drying). At drying air temperature of 50°C, the drying time reduces by 10% and 21% in comparison with drying air temperature of 40 and 45°C. Besides, increasing RF power retains the higher content of polysaccharide in Ganoderma lucidum, and the Ganoderma lucidum samples retain the color better after drying.

“…However, one of the primary problems with RF heating is its edge effects on the surface of materials, which means higher temperatures at the edges and corners than those in the center parts of materials. These undesired edge effects usually result in nonuniformity of heating and deterioration in sensorial and nutritional properties and have been observed in potato, chicken meat, peanut, and corn flour …”

“…These undesired edge effects usually result in nonuniformity of heating and deterioration in sensorial and nutritional properties and have been observed in potato, chicken meat, peanut, and corn flour. [28][29][30][31] Current literature has mainly focused on biochemical and pharmacological functions of C. militaris. However, to the best of our knowledge, there has been no previous study that investigated the applicability of RF heating and its effect on the quality of C. militaris.…”
