Abstract

Abstract:

Microwave drying technology and related equipment have been widely applied in light industries such as
food and agricultural product processing. However, the non-uniformity of microwave heating has become one of the
bottlenecks for the application of microwave drying technology. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the
current status of studies on microwave drying uniformity in China and abroad. Furthermore, future research directions
on this topic are discussed.

Key words: microwave, drying, uniformity, application
