Abstract This study was to investigate the effect of different drying methods on the drying kinetics, physical properties, and bioactivity of Platycodon grandiflorum (PG). Four drying methods were employed to conduct the dehydrated process, namely, hot air drying (AD), vacuum drying (VD), microwave hot airflow rolling-bed drying (MHARD), and pulse-spouted microwave vacuum drying (PSMVD). PSMVD showed the highest drying rate among four drying methods based on the result of fitting first-order reaction model. And PSMVD-dried product showed higher rehydration ratio and better mechanical properties, suggesting a better rehydration characteristic. In addition, considering the content of Platycodin D, PSMVD is a promising drying technology for the dehydration of PG.

<em>Experiments were conducted on pre treated dehydrated oyster mushroom with steeping in citric acid and sodium chloride and blanching to investigate the effect of pre treatments and drying methods on drying characteristics of mushroom and quality of dried oyster mushroom. Drying was accomplished in a cabinet dryer using hot air at 40<sup>O </sup>C, 60<sup>O</sup>C and by sun drying. The drying characteristics of mushroom were not affected by the pre-treatments significantly. However, the rate of drying increased with the increase in drying temperature. Increase in drying temperature significantly reduced the total drying time. Pre treatments and drying temperature had adverse influence on the rehydration ratio, hardness and colour of the dehydrated mushrooms. Blanching improves the colour of the dehydrated mushroom but increased hardness also. A loss of protein was observed during blanching</em>

The objective of the study is to investigate the effects of different drying processes (convective hot air, microwave, and fluidized bed drying) and combined drying methods on the drying characteristics and physical properties of the dried wheat and the power consumption of the dryers. The lowest moisture content and water activity values were observed for the 25min of drying in fluidized bed dryer (60°C) and following 16min in microwave dryer (540W). The lowest power consumption was observed in the 60°C-180W fluidized bed-microwave combination (0.77kWh) compared to the other combined trials. Keywords: wheat; convective drying; microwave drying; fluidized bed drying intermittent drying
