Simultaneous application of refractance window and microwave drying: A novel hybrid technique for fruit dehydration to reducing drying time and improve bioactive compound retention

Refractance window (RWTM) and microwave (MW) are two drying technologies characterized by short drying time and high-quality retention. This study investigated the effect of drying apple slices (as a model food), using a novel system: RWTM assisted with m
