The effect of hot water blanching treatment on thin layer drying kinetics of aonla shreds was studied at drying air temperatures of 50, 55 and 60°C with the air velocity of 1.2 m/s. The drying time decreased with the increase in air temperature and blanching. The drying process was observed in falling rate. Drying after blanching reduced the vitamin C content of aonla shreds by 69.36% whereas it decreased by 27.78% in unblanched shreds. Eight commonly used mathematical models were evaluated to predict the drying behavior of aonla shreds. The Midilli model described the drying behaviour of unblanched aonla shreds at all temperatures better than other models whereas two-term model described the drying kinetics of blanched aonla shreds satisfactorily. The effective diffusivities of the unblanched and blanched aonla shreds were determined using Fick's law of diffusion. The activation energy was found to be 47.21 kJ/mol for unblanched and 43.98 kJ/mol for blanched aonla shreds.

-The product. Aonla (Emblica officinalis Geartn), the king of arid fruits, popularly known as "Indian gooseberry", is a small-sized minor subtropical fruit grown widely in North India. India ranks first in the world in aonla area and production volume. It is considered to be a "wonder fruit for health" because of its unique properties. Uses. Aonla fruit is very useful in treating many diseases such as diabetes, cough, asthma, bronchitis, headache, dyspepsia, colic, flatulence, skin diseases, leprosy, jaundice, scurvy, diarrhea and cancer. Packaging. Different packaging materials such as nylon net, perforated polyethylene bags, ventilated corrugated fiber boxes, gunny bags, wooden crates, etc., can be used for prolonging the storage life of fruit. Storage. Refrigerated storage helps in enhancing the storage life of fruit. Value addition. There are numerous products such as aonla squash, candy, jam, chutney, etc., which are prepared from aonla fruit. Inclusion of these products in the diet definitely helps in improving the nutritional value of Indian meals. Discussion. The low cost of the products as well as good sensory, nutritional and shelf life qualities mean that processed aonla products are appropriate for commercialization. In order to obtain a good income from aonla, it must be sold immediately in the market; if not, to make profit, proper storage facilities should be available.Emblica officinalis / fruits / traditional uses / packaging equipment / storage / value added Emballage, stockage et valeur ajoutée de l'aonla, un fruit sous-utilisé, en Inde.Résumé -Le produit. L'aonla (Emblica officinalis Geartn.), roi des fruits des zones arides, populairement connu sous le nom de « groseille indienne », est un petit fruit subtropical mineur largement cultivé en Inde du Nord. L'Inde occupe la première place mondiale en superficie et en volume de production de ce fruit. Il est considéré comme un « fruit étonnant pour la santé » en raison de ses propriétés exceptionnelles. Utilisations. Le fruit de l'aonla est très utilisé pour soigner de nombreuses maladies comme le diabète, la toux, l'asthme, la bronchite, les maux de tête, la dyspepsie, les coliques, les flatulences, les maladies de peau, la lèpre, la jaunisse, le scorbut, la diarrhée et le cancer. Emballage. Différents matériaux d'emballage tels que filets en nylon, sacs de polyéthylène perforés, boîtes en carton ondulé ventilé, sacs de jute, caisses en bois, etc., peuvent être utilisés pour prolonger la durée de conservation des fruits. Stockage. Le stockage réfrigéré permet d'améliorer la durée de conservation des fruits. Valeur ajoutée. Un très grand nombre de produits comme le jus pressé, les bonbons, la confiture, le chutney, etc., sont préparés à partir de fruits de l'aonla. L'introduction de ces produits dans l'alimentation contribue à l'amélioration de la valeur nutritionnelle des repas indiens. Discussion. Le faible coût des produits ainsi que ses bonnes qualités sensorielles, nutritionnelles et de durée de vie font que les produits transformé...
