Abstract The present work will investigate the influence of blanching on the kinetics of the papaya osmotic dehydration. Some thermal treatment conditions will be tested by changing temperatures and time. Treatments must guarantee inactivation of the enzymes present in the tissue. The osmotic dehydration kinetics will be studied with tissues blanched under previously selected conditions. Water and sucrose diffusion coefficients will be determined. Thermal treatments will be evaluated based on the behavior of the tissues during the osmotic dehydration. (AU) | |
