Abstract
In order to explore the modified atmosphere drying characteristics, the drying temperature and mixed gas of N2-air were investigated. Drying time, rehydration capacity and colour of the carrots were compared. Results showed that the increase of drying temperature and N2 concentration decreased the drying time. High rehydration capacity and less colour change occurred when N2 concentration increased.
