4. Adopts the PP chain plate with retaining edge to prevent the dates rolling down. And during the drying and sterilizing processes the jujubes automatically roll so they are dried and sterilized evenly and thoroughly.
5. High efficiency and energy saving. The jujubes directly absorb the microwave both inside and outside so it does not have extra heat loss. It has high efficiency. And the energy consumption is 30% lower than common drying and sterilizing equipment.
During the drying and sterilizing processes, we should consider some factors which may affect the dried dates’ quality.
Factors Affecting the Quality of Dried Dates
1. Jujubes placement
Put the dates on the plate within the microwave equipment. During the heating process, the plate rolls at a certain velocity so the jujubes can be dried evenly.
2. The control of temperature
We should pay much attention to the temperature and prevent the coking because of the rapid temperature rise. Jujubes have the best quality if the irradiation time by microwave is controlled within 190s and the jujubes’ surface temperature is within 70-degree centigrade.
3. The water content
The water content directly affects the taste, color and shelf life of dates. Some people think the lower the water content, the better the dried dates. But researches show that the dried jujubes have good taste, color, and nutrition if the water content is about 20%.
