Kinetics of moisture transfer during air drying of blanched and/or osmotically dehydrated mango

The effect of previous blanching and/or osmotic dehydration (at atmospheric pressure or in vacuum) with glucose syrups on the kinetics of water transport during the first falling rate period of air drying of mango at 60°C was investigated. Both pre-drying treatments decreased strongly the effective...
