1 maj 2024 · Fruits and vegetables dehydration should be cost-efficient and energy-efficient and should maintain the quality attributes in the dehydrated products. During dehydration, reduction of the free water is carried out to extend the shelf life of the product.
22 lut 2012 · Osmotic dehydration is one of the best and suitable method to increase the shelf life of fruits and vegetables. This process is preferred over others due to their vitamin and minerals, color, flavor and taste retention property. In this review different methods, treatments, optimization and effects of osmotic dehydration have been reviewed.
5 lip 2016 · Osmotic dehydration is a simultaneous mass transfer process which mainly promotes the flow of water molecules from the food to osmo-active solution and some migration of solutes from the solution into the food, thus maintaining good organoleptic and functional properties in the finished product.
1 wrz 2024 · Postharvest water loss often referred to as weight loss or dehydration poses a significant challenge in fruit handling and storage impacting fruit quality, shelf life, and market value. Nearly half of fruit and vegetables are lost during postharvest processes, making it a crucial concern.
8 sty 2018 · The capacity to survive dehydration is an important evolutionary component of plant life in harsh environments. While survival is the most basic feature of resurrection plants, it can sometimes also be an important component of crop adaptation in extreme environments.
The marvel of expulsion of water from lower solvent concentration to higher concentration by a semi-perimeable membrane is osmotic dehydration, resulting in equilibrium state on both sides of the membrane. As it decreases the water activity of fruits.
1 kwi 2016 · In this paper, the combined effect of osmotic dehydration and several other innovative techniques (pulsed high electric field, high hydrostatic pressure, ultrasound, centrifugal force, vacuum and gamma irradiation) on the quality and shelf life of fruits and vegetables have been reviewed.
