The effect of different pre-treatments (i.e. osmotic dehydration in 10, 15 and 20°Brix NaCl solution and drying air temperature of 50, 60 and 70°C) on drying behaviour of onion slices were investigated. The onion slices were dried in a... more
The effect of osmotic dehydration on the volatile fraction of kiwi fruit was studied, as well as the effect of freezing and frozen storage. Osmotic treatments were carried out in sucrose solutions until the kiwi fruit reached 30°Brix, at... more
Water and sucrose transfer were quantitatively investigated during osmotic dehydration of carrot slices using response surface methodology with the sucrose concentration (40–60%, w/w), temperature of sucrose solution (40–60 °C) and... more
Fulfilling the food demand of a growing population is the biggest challenge as lot of food globally got wasted due to improper storage and processing. Osmotic dehydration offers high-quality preservation and maintenance of the integrity... more
This study was conducted to investigate effects of varying levels of pretreatments (blanching temperature and osmotic concentration) on rehydration characteristics, nutrient retention and sensory acceptance of solar-dried carrot slices.... more
The osmotic processes induce not only water and solute fluxes in the tissue but also changes in cellular structure, depending on the ratio in which different transport mechanisms act in the system: osmo-diffusional transport of water and... more
Consumers increasingly demand convenience foods of the highest quality in terms of natural flavor and taste, and which are free from additives and preservatives. This demand has triggered the need for the development of a number of... more
The effect of drying method on bulk density, substance density, porosity, and shrinkage of quinces at various moisture contents was investigated. Samples were dehydrated with four different drying methods: conventional drying in fluid bed... more
Response surface methodology was used to determine the optimum processing conditions that yield maximum water loss and weight reduction and minimum solid gain and water activity during osmotic dehydration of potatoes. Temperature... more
The effects of NaCl and osmotic dehydration on the linear viscoelastic behavior of duck egg yolk were evaluated. An increase in NaCl concentrations from 0% to 3.0% (w/w) resulted in a remarkable change in the linear viscoelastic behavior... more
Micro- and macrostructural changes in apple slices during osmotic dehydration were studied. Samples were immersed into 25.0% (w/w) glucose or 34.6% (w/w) sucrose aqueous solutions at 30 °C until water and solid contents were almost... more
The objective of this study was to develop calcium enriched osmo-dehydrated apple slices by impregnation at atmospheric pressure. Osmotic dehydration (OD) was carried out using 50°Bx sucrose solutions with 4% and 8% calcium lactate (CL)... more
Jams are made from fruit and sugar mixed in proportions so that the final product contains a minimum fruit content of 30% and 45°Brix minimum. Traditional manufacturing methods require concentration by heat treatments, which promotes... more
