Abstract

We determined quality changes (such as surface color and L-ascorbic acid, β-carotene and lutein contents) and energy consumption during far-infrared drying and hot-air drying of komatsuna. For identical drying-rate constants, the residual ratio of L-ascorbic acid after far-infrared drying was significantly (p < 0.05) greater than that after hot-air drying. Far-infrared drying did not show any negative effects on surface color or β-carotene and lutein contents. Energy consumption with far-infrared drying was approximately 17% less than that with hot-air drying. These results suggest that far-infrared drying, along with hot-air drying, is useful for drying of komatsuna.
