As a technique for obtaining minimally processed fruits, osmotic dehydration (OD) is adequate, and does posses advantages over other drying techniques, yet it seems that some hydrosoluble components may escape into the osmotic solution (OS) during the process. On the other hand, the re-use of the OS in successive OD operations can be a good way of making the process economical and environmentally...
The purpose of this work was to quantify the flow of soluble micronutrients, such as acids, minerals and pectins, from the grapefruit to the osmotic solution (OS) used to dehydrate the fruit when recycling it in successive osmotic dehydration (OD) operations, without reconcentrating. OD was carried out for 3h at 30°C with an OS:fruit rate 5:1, using a 55 °Brix sucrose solution. Soluble solids (°Brix),...
