摘要：The aim of this work was to improve microwave heating in white sauces using different polysaccharides in their formulation; ι-, λ- and &kappa-carrageenan and native and modified starches were used as thickeners. Five model systems were prepared, each one with a different polysaccharide, salt, and water. Dielectric loss factor (ε'') was measured and penetration depth of the electric field was calculated at 20 and 40°C at 2450 GHz. The results showed that ε'' increased significantly (P P
