Effect of Drying Temperature on Drying Characteristics and Quality of Honeysuckle

Abstract In order to study the effect of drying temperature on the drying characteristics, chlorogenic acid content and product color of honeysuckle, the drying experiment of honeysuckle was carried out by using a self-made Tester of drying characteristics of honeysuckle. The results showed that increasing the drying temperature could shorten the drying time and increase the drying rate, and with the increasing of the drying temperature, the content of chlorogenic acid in honeysuckle increased at first and then decreased, under the condition of other drying parameters fixed, when the radiation temperature is 80°C, the high drying rate and good product quality can be obtained at the same time.
