Food Processing Industry

In the industrial microwave food industry, microwave energy is used to cook, dry or sterilize food products. Microwave processing can significantly reduce the cooking time and energy consumption of many food products, making it an attractive option for food manufacturers. One of its common applications in the food industry is the microwave drying of fruits, vegetables and grains.

This process involves exposing food products to microwave energy, which heats the water molecules within the food and causes them to evaporate, resulting in faster and more efficient drying. Industrial microwave drying can also help preserve the nutritional value and sensory qualities of food products, as it is typically carried out at lower temperatures than other drying methods. Other applications of industrial microwave technology in the food industry include sterilization of packaged foods, cooking frozen or pre-packaged meals, and drying spices and herbs.

Advantages

There are several advantages of using industrial microwaves in the food industry:

  • Increased Efficiency: Industrial microwaves can significantly reduce the cooking and drying times of many food products, making them a more efficient option than traditional cooking methods.
  • Energy Savings: Industrial microwaves can use less energy than other cooking methods, making them more environmentally friendly and cost-effective.
  • Improved Food Quality: Industrial microwave processing can help preserve the nutritional value and sensory qualities of many food products because it is typically carried out at lower temperatures than other cooking methods.
  • Enhanced Safety: Industrial microwave processing can help reduce the risk of foodborne illness by effectively killing harmful bacteria and pathogens in packaged and pre-packaged foods.

However, there are also some limitations to the use of industrial microwaves in the food industry, such as the potential for uneven cooking and the need for specialized equipment.

The food processing industry represents a vast field to optimize and improve the efficiency of Met processes, their progress, as well as developing new applications for microwave use every day. For a better overview it is good to divide the processes into 6 basic areas:

  • Pasteurization and sterilization (devitalization) – hyalinization of foods and feeds.
  • Defrosting and tempering.
  • Inactivation of enzymes and mixture stabilization.
  • Utilizing the same scope of advantages of microwave drying applied in many different branches.
  • Heat treatment cooking, baking, roasting causes irreversible product changes.
  • Preheating can be effectively applied in both industrial and gastronomy processing without any irreversible product changes, further enhanced by using so-called active packaging.
