Abstract Microwave-vacuum drying of parsley root, a common root vegetable was experimentally investigated and compared to conventional air-blast drying, Various combinations of water and microwave-blanching were also investigated. Analytical evaluation and subjective scoring of rehydrated dried products showed combined microwave and air-blast drying to be superior, as well as the most rapid of the methods investigated.
