Abstract: In this study,garlic slices were dried by hot air and vacuum respectively. With thiosulfinates content in dried garlic as index,the optimal conditions of hot air drying and vacuum drying were determined using response surface analysis software separately. The results showed that on the conditions of thickness of garlic slices 2.7 mm and drying temperature 45 ℃,the best effect of hot air drying is achieved,and the optimal conditions of vacuum drying are thickness of garlic slices 3 mm and drying temperature 41℃.

Key words: garlic slices, thiosulfinates, drying
