The present study aimed to investigate the effect of different microwave pre-drying times under hot-air-drying processes on the quality properties and sensory evaluation of () The colour, proximate analysis, amino acid content, fat oxidation, and volatile components of dried were determined. Microwave pre-drying could significantly ( 0.05) increase the drying rate and shorten the drying time. The results of colour, proximate analysis, and amino acid content indicated that microwave pre-drying could improve the quality of the product, resulting in dried with less of a loss in nutrients. The samples that underwent microwave pre-drying had a high degree of fatty acid oxidation and low monounsaturated fatty acid content, which facilitated the formation of volatile components. Additionally, the MAD-2 and MAD-3 groups had high relative contents of aldehydes and hydrocarbons, and the FD group had the highest relative content of esters found in the samples. The relative content of ketones and alcohols did not differ significantly between the different drying groups. The finding of this study has important potential for enhancing the quality and aroma of dry products with microwave pre-drying during the drying process.

The selection of an optimal drying method is essential for extending the shelf life and enhancing the quality of fruits. This study investigated the effects of both innovative (microwave vacuum drying and infrared drying) and traditional (freeze-drying and hot air drying) techniques on the structural characteristics and bioactivities of polysaccharides from fruits (RSPs). Four different RSPs were obtained from fruits dried using these methods.

In this study, the effect of pre-drying and post-frying holding treatments on the oil absorption and the quality of the fried batter-coated peanuts were explored. The results showed that hot air drying and microwave drying induced the gelatinization of starch in the batter before frying. The thermodynamic properties of starch in the batter after frying indicated that pre-drying could protect the orderliness of the starch.

Hemp is used as a source of fiber, oil and bioactive substances including volatile and cannabinoid-containing substances. This paper presents, for the first time, results on the evaluation of drying methods (convective, vacuum-microwave and combined convective pre-drying and vacuum-microwave finishing drying) of hemp leaves on the qualitative and quantitative changes in secondary metabolites, including essential oils, cannabinoids and sterols. A ranking and descriptive test of hemp leaves was also performed.

The successful integration of hot-melt extrusion (HME) and fused deposition modelling (FDM) depends on a better understanding of the impact of environmental conditions on the printability of formulations, since they significantly affect the properties of the raw materials, whose control is crucial to enable three-dimensional printing (3DP). Hence, the objective of this work was to investigate the correlation between the environmental settings and the properties of paroxetine (PRX)-loaded filaments, previously produced by HME, which affect printability by FDM. The influence of different drying methods of the physical mixtures (PMs) and HME-filaments (FILs) on the quality and printability of these products was also assessed.
