Objective An intelligent integrated modeling method based on ensemble learning and back propagation (BP) neural network was proposed to establish a moisture ratio prediction model for Qianhu (Peucedani Radix) slices during microwave vacuum drying. Methods The experimental scheme of Peucedani Radix slices during microwave vacuum drying was reasonably designed to explore the effects of different microwave power, slice thickness and drying layers on the moisture ratio of Peucedani Radix slices during drying process, and the original data set for moisture ratio modeling was constructed. The original data set was reasonably divided into training set, validation set and testing set. The training set was used to establish BP neural network sub-models with different numbers of hidden layer neurons, and the validation set was used to prevent over-fitting of the training process. The testing set was used to establish an intelligent integrated model of moisture ratio of Peucedani Radix slices during microwave vacuum drying, and the model was applied. Results The results of drying experiments showed that increasing microwave power or reducing slice thickness could effectively shorten total drying time of Peucedani Radix slices, and achieve the purpose of improving drying efficiency and energy saving. The application results of the model showed that the intelligent integrated model had good stability, generalization and prediction accuracy, and could quickly and accurately predict the moisture ratio of Peucedani Radix slices during microwave vacuum drying. Conclusion The intelligent integrated model provides important technical support for drying process optimization and control of Peucedani Radix slices. The intelligent integrated modeling method provides an effective new modeling method for drying process modeling of Chinese herbal medicines.
