摘要

#CMT# #/CMT# The method for producing dry products from plant sprouts and/or seedlings and/or plants in early growth phase and/or its parts e.g. stems by applying a selectively transformed infrared radiation (4), comprises heating a plant material to be dried at 50-70[deg] C, cooling the plant material in specified temperature region, and drying the plant material in vacuum at -15[deg] C to 40[deg] C with pressure of 10-500 mbar. An inert gas is guided over the plant material. The plant material attains maximum temperature of 40[deg] C, which is increased in dependent of the removal of residual moisture of the material. #CMT# : #/CMT# An independent claim is included for an arrangement for producing dry products from plant sprouts and/or seedlings and/or plants in early growth phase and/or its parts by applying a selectively transformed infrared radiation. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Method for producing dry products from plant sprouts and/or seedlings and/or plants in early growth phase and/or its parts such as leaves and stems by applying a selectively transformed infrared radiation for human consumption. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The method is capable of rapidly and economically producing the soft dry products with less energy consumption, high quality, high durability and good taste. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The diagram shows a front and side view of an arrangement with a kiln floor arranged in an open metal frame. 1 : Metal frame 2 : Grid base 3 : Kiln floor 4 : Infrared radiation.
