摘要: Abstract The influence of different osmotic pre-treatments on apple air-drying kinetics and their physical characteristics during drying were investigated. Apple samples immersed in glucose or sucrose solutions 30%, 45% (w/w) at times. Sugar gain (SG) water loss (WL) calculated an immersion time 12 h was selected. Samples further air-dried the experimental data fitted successfully using Page model: MR = exp(− kt n ). Porosity, compressive fracture stress colour measured. Apples osmosed showed a large moisture decline early periods similar rates to untreated for same change. Osmosed apples lower ascribed sugars concentration outer layers tissue crystallization drying. pre-treated sugar had greater porosity better retention In texture hardening rate observed, just opposite occurred.
