In order to design various microwave heating apparatuses, it is necessary to measure the transforming rate such as cooking, drying rates and so on, and establish the transforming rate equation. In previous papers, we have studied th cooking-rate equation by microwave heated cooking of potato slices. In this paper, we studied the drying-rate equation by microwave heated drying of potato and so on. An electronic ranges have been used for measurement of the degree of drying of foodstuffs. The drying sample was quickly taken out from the range in order to measure the weight. Therefore, we designed in this study an improved instrument which the weight-time relationship of sample can be obtained continuously on the recoder. The values of the drying-rate of the potato and so on for air flow type drying could be measurd by means of the experimental method consisted constant temperature sytem. However, the experiments for microwave heated drying must be studied by the temperature unsteady-state system. The determintion method of the rate equation is more difficult than the former one. The temperature of the sample can not be measured continuously, because the thermocouple can not be treated in the electronic range. Therefore, we can not see the report according to the drying-rate equation for microwave heated drying. In this paper, we studied the drying-rate equation by using the simple empirical rate equations that have been reported in a previous papers.
