Parameter Optimization of Vacuum Freeze-Drying Processing on Tan Lamb

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, the effects of drying chamber pressure, heating plate temperature and material thickness on the drying time of Tan lamb in vacuum freeze-drying process were studied using quadratic regression orthogonal design. The results showed that the drying time was significantly affected by drying chamber pressure, heating plate temperature and material thickness as well as the interaction of heating plate temperature and material thickness. The optimized parameters were drying chamber pressure 27.9 Pa, heating plate temperature 47.9°C and material thickness 4.3 mm. On these parameters, the drying time was 4.3 h.
