Abstract:In order to increasing the drying speed, quality and energy consumption in the for Eurotus eryngii drying, the effects were studied, of from the hot-air temperature, hot-air time and vacuum freeze-drying time,on drying rate, sense judgment, rehydration ratio and Amino acids by using the Box-Behnken optimal design. Based on the experimental data, the response surface methodology was employed for the muli-variable experiments and the regression model was established. The optimal parameters were obtained as follows: hot air drying temperature 50 ℃, hot air drying time is 60 min, and the vacuum freeze-drying time is 10 h. The combined drying method can decrease the drying time and energy, were 25.5% and 6.3% lower than that of the vacuum freeze-drying ,and 156.4%、63.3% of hot air drying, respectively.
