Structural changes and mass transfer during glucose infusion of apples as affected by blanching and process variables
The effect of process variables and blanching on the rate of dewatering of apple slices through immersion in glucose solutions was analyzed. The adequacy of the Hawkes and Flink's and Peleg's models for fitting the rate data was evaluated as well as the structural changes produced in the t...

The effect of process variables and blanching on the rate of dewatering of apple slices through immersion in glucose solutions was analyzed.
