This study is aimed to investigate the possibility of using halogen lamp-microwave combination oven for production of bread crumbs and to determine the drying conditions in this oven to produce bread crumbs with the highest quality. Bread crumb dough was dried from about 40.9% to 8% moisture content by conventional oven, microwave, infrared and infrared-assisted microwave drying. In the experiments 30%, 50% and 70% halogen lamp and/or microwave powers were used. As a control, conventional oven drying at 75°C was used. Conventional drying time was reduced significantly with the usage of infrared, microwave and infrared-assisted microwave drying. Percent reduction in the drying time was found as 96.5-98.6% for microwave, 80.2-94.0% for infrared and 96.8-98.6% for infrared-assisted microwave drying. Contribution of microwave drying was about nine fold of that of infrared drying in infrared-assisted microwave drying. In conventional drying moisture content decayed exponentionally with time whereas in microwave drying it showed a linear decrease. Infrared and infrared-assisted microwave drying fitted the same non-linear model. Total color change values were lower in microwave and higher in infrared drying with respect to the conventional drying. When drying was done by infrared-assisted microwave drying similar color values with the conventionally dried bread crumbs were encountered. Microwave, infrared and infrared-assisted microwave drying methods were effective in increasing water binding capacity. As long as time and energy reduction and high quality were considered, the optimum condition in infrared-assisted microwave drying for production of bread crumbs can be selected as 50% microwave and 30% halogen lamp power.

Optimization of microwave-halogen lamp baking of bread
Demirekler, Pınar; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Department of Food Engineering (2004)
The main objective of this study was to optimize the processing conditions of breads baked in halogen lamp-microwave combination oven by using response surface methodology. It was also aimed to construct neural network models for the prediction of quality parameters of bread as a function of processing conditions. Different baking time and power combinations were used in order to find the optimum baking conditions of bread in halogen lamp-microwave combination oven. The independent variables were the baking...
Production of bread crumbs by infrared-assisted microwave drying
Tireki, S; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Esin, A (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2006-01-01)
This study is aimed to investigate the possibility of using infrared-assisted microwave drying for production of bread crumbs and to determine drying conditions in halogen lamp-microwave combination oven to produce bread crumbs with the highest quality. Bread crumb dough were dried from about 40.9 to 8% moisture content by conventional, microwave, infrared and infrared-assisted microwave drying separately and in combinations. Halogen lamp and microwave power levels of 30, 50 and 70% were used. Percent reduc...
Modeling of tempering of frozen potato puree by microwave, infrared assisted microwave and ohmic heating methods
Seyhun, Nadide; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Department of Food Engineering (2008)
The main purpose of this thesis is to develop a model that can predict the temperature profile inside a frozen food sample during microwave tempering and infrared assisted microwave tempering processes. Another goal of the study is to compare the tempering time of frozen foods by using microwave, infrared assisted microwave, and ohmic heating methods. Frozen potato puree was used as the food sample for all studies. Three different microwave power levels (30%, 40%, and 50%) were used for microwave tempering ...
Investigation of quality and staling of breads with different gum formulations baked in different ovens
Özkoç, Semin Özge; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Department of Food Engineering (2008)
The objective of this study was to determine the effects of different gums and their combination on quality and staling of breads baked in different ovens. In the first part of the study, the effects of gums (xanthan, guar, k-carrageenan, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, locust bean gum and their blends) on quality of breads baked in infrared-microwave combination and conventional ovens were investigated. In addition, macro and micro-structure, dielectric and thermal properties and acrylamide content of bread...
Investigation of physical properties of different cake formulations during baking with microwave and infrared-microwave combination
Şakıyan Demirkol, Özge; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Department of Food Engineering (2007)
The main objective was to determine the variation of physical properties of different cake formulations during baking in microwave and infrared-microwave combination ovens. In the first part of the study, rheological and dielectric properties of cake batter with different formulations were determined. Different concentrations of fat and different types of emulsifier and fat replacer were used. The variation of formulation had a significant effect on the apparent viscosity of the cake batter. Cake batter was...
