Effectiveness of microwave killing live cocoon

Abstract

This article presents the analysis of the methods of preliminary treatment of live cocoons and the methods of de-animation of sponges currently used in our republic. Time-varying microwave inactivation of living cocoons grown in season 1 of silkworms was investigated. Under the influence of microwaves, the heating of the cocoon shell, the degree of death of the sponge, the amount of cocoons with internal spots depending on the temperature, silkiness, the output of cocoon slime, the level of continuous worminess, and the percentage of residual moisture during the drying process of the cocoons were determined. Based on the analysis of the results, the rational drying values ​​of the preliminary experiments were determined. The obtained results are presented in the form of tables and diagrams.
