Determination of bulk density of Mirabelle plum during hot air drying as influenced by ultrasound-osmotic pretreatment

Abstract: Prunes are generally produced by drying fresh plums with a stream of hot air. Changes in various quality indicators, such as bulk density of foodstuffs, have substantial impact on the performance of drying processes. Optimization of bulk density is, therefore, a requirement for development and perpetuity of drying technologies. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of ultrasound-assisted osmotic dehydration pretreatment on bulk density of Mirabelle plum at various operating conditions (sonication… Show more

“…Osmotic dehydration (OD) is an important auxiliary treatment and food preservation technology, which facilitates to improve the nutritional and sensory properties (color, taste and texture) of food. 12,13 Pulsed vacuum and OD are often used as a combined process, showing a positive effect on the kinetics of OD and the quality of treated products. Compared with other dehydration technologies, OD is a low energy consumption processing method.…”
