What is microwave drying?

Microwave drying is a process that utilizes microwave radiation to remove moisture from materials, typically food or agricultural products. This method involves the absorption of microwave energy by water molecules, causing them to heat up and evaporate, thus reducing the moisture content efficiently. Microwave drying offers advantages such as faster drying times, energy savings, and better retention of flavor and nutrients compared to traditional drying methods. It is commonly used in the food industry and for drying various other materials.
