ABSTRACT
Different drying accelerators were studied to improve vegetable drying: acetone (AC), ethanol (ET), isopropanol (ISO) and acetic acid (AA). Pre-treatments were performed by immersion of pumpkin cylinders. Convective ...
Osmotic dehydration effects on mass transfer kinetics and characteristics of fried banana (Musa balbisiana) chips
(LACCEI, 2020-09-15)
Acceso abierto
ABSTRACT
This study evaluated the osmotic dehydration (OD) treatments (using sucrose at 60 °Brix and a solution of salt 1.5% (m/m) with sucrose at 45 °Brix) in banana slices. The effects on the mass transfer kinetics ...
