Effects of drying methods on the quality perpoties of dehydration mushroom

The comparison of quality properties of dehydration mushroom dried by freezing drying, explosion puffing drying and hot air drying were studied in this paper. The results showed that dehydration mushroom dried by freezing drying exhibited the best color values and rehydration capacity. Dehydration mushroom dried by explosion puffing drying exhibited better color values, texture crispy, rehydration capacity, lower apparent density than those of hot air drying. Dehydration mushroom dried by explosion puffing drying showed the more attractive industry production technology.
