Microstructure affects the rate of chemical, physical and color changes during storage of dried apple discs

Blanching, freezing and drying induce major changes in the physical properties of processed foods. Microstructural changes induced by these processes in apple discs were related to the degree and kinetics of browning and to fracture mechanics after drying and later storage at 70 °C under a wide rang...
