Abstract The thin layer drying of Eri silkworm pupae using microwaves combined with hot air was conducted. Several empirical models simulating thin layer drying of Eri silkworm pupae were selected and analyzed. Microwave power between 100 and 200 W and drying temperatures between 50 and 70°C were used in the study. The comparison between experimental results and those of the models indicated that the Page’s model was the best predictor for the thin layer drying of silkworm pupae. In addition color measurements showed that L* values increase with increased microwave power. The best drying condition of Eri silkworm pupae was also, found at microwave power of 200 W combined with the hot air at the temperature of 50°C.

微波热风联合干燥艾丽蚕蛹模型

摘要 利用微波结合热风对鹧鸪蚕蛹进行薄层干燥。选择并分析了几种模拟艾丽蚕蛹薄层干燥的经验模型。研究中使用了 100 至 200 W 的微波功率和 50 至 70°C 的干燥温度。实验结果与模型结果的比较表明，Page模型是蚕蛹薄层干燥的最佳预测因子。此外，颜色测量表明 L* 值随着微波功率的增加而增加。艾丽蚕蛹的最佳干燥条件也是 200 W 的微波功率和 50°C 的热空气结合。
