Methods The influence of different microwave power and sample loading on water loss rate and material temperature was analyzed. On this basis, the test data and the commonly used thin-layer drying model fitting test, the establishment of the red peony extract microwave vacuum drying moisture ratio and drying time relationship between the kinetic model. Results The process of microwave vacuum drying of Radix Paeoniae Rubra was divided into three stages: acceleration, constant speed and speed reduction. The kinetics of microwave vacuum drying of Radix Paeoniae Rubra was also described by Page equation of the mathematical model of thin layer drying. Conclusion The predictive value of this model is in good agreement with the measured value, which can accurately predict the moisture content and water loss rate of Chishao crude extract under microwave vacuum drying.
