Carrot slices were dried by using microwave, halogen lamp-microwave combination and hot-air drying. Microwave and halogen lamp-microwave combination drying were applied after carrots were dried to 0.47 kg moisture/kg dry solid by hot-air drying. Drying time, rehydration capacity and colour of the carrots dried by different methods were compared. The increase in microwave oven power level decreased the drying time. Microwave drying at the highest power and halogen lamp-microwave combination drying reduced the drying time to an extend of 98% in comparison to conventional hot-air drying and a high-quality dried product was obtained. Moreover, in the case of halogen lamp microwave combination drying, moisture level was reduced to a level, which is lower than the one achieved by other methods. Less colour change occurred when microwave and halogen lamp-microwave combination drying were applied. Carrots dried in microwave and halogen lamp microwave combination oven had lower L*, higher a* and b* values and had higher rehydration capacity as compared to hot-air drying.

Usage of enzymes in a novel baking process Keskin, SO; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Şahin, Serpil (Wiley, 2004-04-01) In this study, the effects of different enzymes (a-amylase, xylanase, lipase, protease) on quality of breads baked in different ovens (microwave, halogen lamp-microwave combination and conventional oven) were investigated. It was also aimed to reduce the quality problems of breads baked in microwave ovens with the usage of enzymes. As a control, bread dough containing no enzyme was used. Specific volume, firmness and color of the breads were measured as quality parameters. All of the enzymes were found to b...
Optimization of microwave- infrared roasting of hazelnut Uysal, Nalan; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Şahin, Serpil (Elsevier BV, 2009-01-01) In this study, the possibility of using microwave-infrared combination oven for roasting of hazelnut was investigated. in addition, regression models for the responses: L* value, a* value, textural properties and moisture content of hazelnuts were obtained and the optimum roasting conditions were determined by using response surface methodology. Conventionally roasted hazelnut at 150 degrees C for 20 min was considered for comparison. For hazelnuts, 2.5 min roasting time at 90% microwave power, 60% upper ha...
Bread baking in halogen lamp-microwave combination oven Keskin, SO; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Şahin, Serpil (Elsevier BV, 2004-01-01) The main objective of the study was to compare the effects of halogen lamp-microwave combination baking on quality of breads with other baking methods (conventional, microwave and halogen lamp baking). It was also aimed to improve the quality of microwave baked breads by using combination oven. Weight loss, specific volume, firmness and color of the breads were measured as quality parameters. Halogen lamp-microwave combination oven reduced the conventional baking time of breads by about 75%. Microwave heati...
Comparison and modeling of microwave tempering and infrared assisted microwave tempering of frozen potato puree Seyhun, N.; Ramaswamy, H.; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Şahin, Serpil; Ahmed, J. (Elsevier BV, 2009-06-01) Microwave tempering and infrared assisted microwave tempering of frozen foods were simulated by using finite difference method. The effects of microwave power and infrared power on tempering were discussed. Three different microwave power levels (30%, 40%, and 50%) and three different infrared power levels (10%, 20%, and 30%) were used. The increase in microwave power level and infrared power level decreased tempering times. The change of heat capacity and the dielectric properties of frozen potato puree wi...
Color and texture development during microwave and conventional baking of breads Icoz, D; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Şahin, Serpil (Informa UK Limited, 2004-07-01) The color parameters (L*, a*, and b*) and hardness of breads baked in microwave and conventional ovens were compared. Moreover, the effect of susceptor on color and texture development during microwave baking were studied. Microwave oven was operated at 30 and 40% powers for 3.5-5.5 min with half-minute intervals. Breads were baked in conventional oven at 175degreesC and 200degreesC for 10-18 min and at 225degreesC for 4-12 min with 2 min intervals. It was not possible to obtain sufficient brown color on th...
