Abstract

This work aims to assess the influence of treatments applied before hot-air-drying on the physical and nutritional characteristics of the papaya Formosa variety and on the drying efficiency. The pre-treatments applied before convective drying will be blanching and/or addition of edible coatings. The drying kinetics of samples treated and not treated will be determined at different temperatures. Color, texture, volume, C vitamin and carotenes changes will be measured. The influence of the pre-treatments and the temperature on these characteristics and the moisture diffusivity will be evaluated. Operational parameters useful for designing and processing control are expected to be found. (AU)
