4. Conclusions
- (1)
- According to the analysis of the single-factor test results, the material surface temperature, vacuum degree, and microwave power had significant influences on the drying quality of the mulberry (p < 0.05).
- (2)
- The comprehensive scores of the single-factor test factors were compared against the membership function model. The best mulberry quality was achieved when the material surface temperature was 46.0–54.0 °C, the vacuum degree was 0.05–0.09 MPa, and the microwave power was 300–500 W.
- (3)
- The following optimal parameter combinations for the microwave vacuum drying technology was obtained through a central composite test design: material surface temperature—50.761 °C, vacuum degree—0.073 MPa, and microwave power—370.558 W. Under the optimal parameters, the soluble solid content, chewiness, and Vc content were 43.967%, 9.701, and 0.785 mg·(100 g)−1, respectively. To eliminate random errors, the test parameters were optimized, and the integral values were chosen as follows: material surface temperature—51 °C, vacuum degree—0.07 MPa, and microwave power—370 W. Under these conditions, the soluble solid content was 42.37%, chewiness was 9.08, and Vc content was 0.725 mg·(100 g)−1. The average error between the test results and software optimization parameters was 5.88%, thereby indicating that the optimized technological parameters can improve the drying quality of mulberry.
