Resumo: | Osmotic dehydration is considered to be a suitable preprocessing step to reduce the water content of foods. Such products can be dried further by conventional drying processes to lower their water activity and thus extend their shelf life. In this work, banana (Musa sapientum) fruits were initially treated by osmosis by varying several parameters of the processing conditions which included, besides the cutting format (longitudinal and round slices) of the fruit, temperature (28 and 49 ºC), syrup concentration (50, 60 and 67 ºBrix), treatment time (2, 4, 6, 10, 14, 16 and 18 hours), fruit and syrup ratio (1:1, 1:2, 1:3 and 1:4) and agitation effects. The best quality products were obtained by the use of the 67 ºBrix syrup, for 60 minutes of osmotic treatment, at 28 ºC, having a fruit and syrup ratio of 1:1 and agitation. The experimental data obtained on reduction in moisture content during the osmotic treatment were correlated with the experimental equation of M/Mo = Ae(-Kt), where A and K are the constants which represent the geometry and effective diffusivity of the drying process. This simplified mathematical model correlated well with the experimental results. |
