Abstract:Microwave heating is considered a highly efficient method of energy conversion，which can be easily combined with other drying methods to exploit the advantages of energy conservation and consumption reduction.Combined with other drying methods，the drying rate and product quality can be significantly improved.The requirements to improve product quality and reduce production costs have prompted industry researchers to study the microwave combined drying technology.By analyzing the influence of different drying methods on the quality of dried products，the current application research of microwave combined drying technology in the processing of agricultural products was introduced in this study.In addition，the shortcomings and development prospects of microwave combined drying technology were described.
