Physico-Chemical and Mechanical Properties of Apple Disks Subjected to Osmotic Dehydration and Different Drying Methods

The effect of sucrose infusion (SI) pretreatment and dehydration methods (freeze and air drying) on physical and textural properties of apple disks were analyzed. Dried samples were humidified between 11% and 43% relative humidity (RH) at 20 °C. Control samples (air- and freeze-dried) behaved simila...
