Thawing time and thawing rate of frozen rice according to freezing system and output of microwave in thawing process
Freezing system | Output of microwave (W) | Thawing time (min) | Thawing rate (°C/min) |
CF | 200 | 50±0.032A1) | 2.29±0.011C |
600 | 7.86±0.676B | 14.6±1.374B |
1000 | 3.44±0.319C | 33.63±3.467A |
IQF | 200 | 49.99±0.0141a2) | 2.29±0.004c |
600 | 7.58±0.0529b | 15.15±0.283b |
1000 | 3.33±0.05c | 35.09±1.002a |
The different capital letters (A-B) indicate significant differences between output power of microwave in thawing processing for the CF freezing system (p< 0.05).
The different small letters (a-c) indicate significant differences between output power of microwave in thawing processing for the IQF freezing system (p< 0.05).
