The effects of ultrasound pretreatment (US) before hot air drying (HAD) and microwave drying (MWD) of garlic slices were investigated. For this aim ultrasonic bath at 30℃ for 30 min (35 kHz), microwave oven at 540 W power and tray dryer at 60℃ and with 1.0 m/s air flow rate were used to reach the final moisture content of 5%. Drying rate increased in the US ＋ HAD and the US ＋ MWD groups by 19.30% and 13.82% respectively in comparison with control groups. The effective moisture diffusivity (D∧eff) of garlic slices were calculated from Fick′s diffusion model for the HAD, US ＋ HAD, MWD and the US＋MWD groups as 1.420×10∨-10, 1.826×10∨-10, 1.177×10∨-8, 1.363 ×10∨-8 m²/s respectively. The rehydration rates increased, and bulk densities were decreased in the US ＋ HAD and the US ＋ MWD compared to the control groups. The color values were significantly affected after ultrasound pretreatment. Redness, and yellowness increased most in the US ＋ HAD group.
