Abstract：The bake and microwave drying conditions of silkworm host Cordyceps militaris and their effects on the main active component contents were studied.The results indicated that when bake drying,the drying rate increased with the increase of drying temperature,which showed very significant difference under different temperatures,and over 75％ water lost within 2 hours.When drying by microwave,the drying rate increased with the increase of drying power,which showed very significant difference for different powers,and over 75％ water lost within 6 minutes.For the active component contents,900 W was the best in microwave drying power,which were very significantly higher than those under other conditions.When bake drying,the cordycepin content was the highest under 60℃,while the adenosine content was the highest under 70℃.So we could select different drying conditions for different purpose to keep the active elements to the maximum level.
