Gel microwave vacuum drying is a drying method that utilizes the synergistic effect of microwave and vacuum environments to dry gels. It has unique advantages in improving drying efficiency and maintaining gel quality.
Food Gels: Such as 3D - printed mango juice gel, egg white protein gel, etc. Microwave vacuum drying can improve the shape - retention, texture, and flavor of food gels.
Biomedical Gels: For some hydrogels used in drug - delivery systems, tissue - engineering scaffolds, etc., microwave vacuum drying can maintain their biological activity and structural stability.
Industrial Gels: Such as silica aerogel. In the production process of silica aerogel, microwave vacuum drying can prevent the collapse of the wet gel skeleton and obtain aerogels with nanoscale pores.
