Abstract:
Osmotic dehydration of carrot slices in sugar solutions at different solution concentrations, temperatures and process duration of 120min. was analyzed for moisture content (% w.b.), ash content, pH and beta-carotene. The beta-carotene content increased with increase of syrup concentration and temperature, and the ash, pH and moisture content (% w.b.) decreased with increase of syrup concentration and temperature.
