Abstract
Effects of vacuum freeze drying (VFD), air impingement drying (AID), hot air drying based on temperature and humidity control (TH-HAD), pulsed vacuum drying (PVD), and medium- and short-wave infrared radiation drying (MSIRD) on the drying characteristics and physicochemical properties of garlic slices were investigated in the current work. Based on the experimental results, the Weibull model fitted the experimental results better (R2 > 0.99) than the Wang and Singh model. Samples dried with PVD showed the smallest color difference (ΔE*), better rehydration capacity and desirable reducing sugar content. In response to thermal effects and pressure pulsations, the cell walls gradually degraded, and the cell and organelle membranes ruptured. The allicin and soluble pectin contents of garlic slices treated with PVD were higher by 8.0–252.3% and 49.5–92.2%, respectively, compared to those of the samples dried by other techniques. VFD maintained a complete garlic slice structure with the minimum shrinkage and the best appearance. The MSIRD process produced the densest structure, and caused an additional loss of color and phytochemical contents. The findings in current work implied that PVD could be a promising drying technique for garlic slices.
