Mass transfer during osmotic dehydration of pineapple rings

Abstract: The effect of temperature (30, 40 and 50°C) and sucrose concentration (50, 60 and 70"Brix) on the osmotic dehydration of commercial size pineapple rings were studied, at an initial ratio of 1:4 fruit:sucrose solution. The rate of water loss in the fruit varied with both osmotic solution concentration and temperature. A proposed model based on Crank's equation was fitted to the experimental data.

“…Figure 1b, c show that the highest b* values were obtained with larger volumes of added juice and longer cooking times for both the albedo and the syrup. Beristain et al (1990), investigating the osmotic dehydration of pineapple at atmospheric pressure, observed a predominance of water loss over solid gain during the osmotic dehydration process. According to the authors, this was due to the fact that it is difficult for sucrose to diffuse through the cell wall on account of its high molecular weight; the contrary occurred with the water molecules, whose diffusion was thus favored.…”

“…In case of 30°C temperature water loss was 34.67%, 30.44% and 24.24% whereas solid gain was 17.20%, 13.25% and 9.40% for 60:15°brix sugar-salt, 25°brix salt and 60°brix sugar solutions concentration respectively. Osmotic dehydration is the two way mass transfer diffusion process and it is strongly affected by processed temperature and time of immersion Farkas and Lazar (1969); Hope and Vital (1972); Beristain et al, (1990); Alam et al, (2013). Temperature can be one of the advantageous factors to complete osmotic dehydration rapidly but same time higher temperature affects colour and flavor of product.…”
