“…Higher TSS values, which The increase in TSS of pineapple rings with a rise in temperature can be attributed to the decrease in viscosity of the solution, which subsequently accelerates the influx of the solvent into the cellular matrix of the sample (González-Pérez et al, 2022). Moreover, the increase in concentration and vacuum, the driving forces of mass transfer, contributes to an increased influx of solvent into the matrix, resulting in better VI (González-Pérez et al, 2023). The regression coefficients show that all the inter-action effects had a nonsignificant effect on the TSS of pineapple rings.…”

The vacuum impregnation (VI) process parameters (vacuum pressure = 20–60 kPa; VI temperature = 35–55°C; concentration of the sucrose solution = 40–60 °Brix; and vacuum process time = 8–24 min) for pineapple rings were optimized based on the moisture content (MC), water loss (WL), solids gain (SG), yellowness index (YI), and total soluble solids (TSS) content of pineapple rings using response surface methodology (RSM). A relationship was developed between the process and response variables using RSM and artificial neural network (ANN) techniques. The effectiveness of VI was evaluated by comparing it with the osmotic dehydration (OD) technique. The optimum condition was found to be 31.782 kPa vacuum pressure, 50.441°C solution temperature, and 60 °Brix sucrose concentration for 20.068 min to attain maximum TSS, YI, SG, and WL, and minimum MC of pineapple rings. The R2 values of RSM models for all variables varied between 0.70 and 0.91, whereas mean square error values varied between 0.76 and 71.58 and for ANN models varied between 0.87–0.93 and 0.53–193.78, respectively.Scanning electron micrographs (SEM) revealed that parenchymal cell rupture was less in VI than in OD. The VI pineapple rings exhibited more pores and high SG, as compared to OD, due to the pressure impregnation. Spectroscopic analysis affirmed that the stretching vibrations of intermolecular and intramolecular interactions were significant in VI as against OD. The VI reduced the drying time by 35% compared to OD, with the highest overall acceptability score and lower microbial load during storage.Practical ApplicationPineapple is a perishable fruit, which necessitates processing for extended shelf life. This study highlights the potential of the vacuum impregnation process as a promising alternative to conventional preservation methods such as osmotic dehydration for pineapples.
