食品的微波焙烤技术

A review on microwave baking of foods

微波与极性分子及食品中带电粒子相互作用而生热,微波加热具有省时、节能、改善营养质量和提高消费者对食品的接受性等优点,但是目前微波焙烤食品还存在一系列问题,如微波食品的体积小,质地粗糙、坚硬,无褐变,香味形成难等,这也是目前食品微波焙烤技术的研究热点。本文综述了食品特性对微波焙烤的影响,微波焙烤与传统焙烤的差别以及目前常用的解决微波焙烤食品问题的方法。

Microwave interact with polar molecules and charged particles of food to generate heat. There are differences between the heating mechanisms of microwave and conventional heating. The use of microwave heating has the advantage of saving energy and time, improving both nutritional quality and acceptability of some foods by consumers. Microwave ovens are successfully used both in homes and in the food service industry. However, there are still problems in perfecting microwave baking, which have become a popular research area. The main problems found in microwave-baked food products are low volume, tough or firm texture, lack of browning and flavour development. Recent studies aim at improving the quality of microwave -baked products. This article reviews the basic principles of microwave baking, problems commonly occurring in microwave -baked products and finally the solutions to these problems.
