ABSTRACT Osmotic dehydration assisted by ultrasound (ODAU) at low temperatures reduces water activity (aw) and maintains nutrients. The influence of solution concentration (SC; 20 to 60° Brix, xylitol and sorbitol) and ultrasound application time (tus, 0 to 40 min) in ODAU of yacon was studied with the aid of a response surface method. The optimum condition with respect to mass transfer parameters, aw, and fructan retention was SC of 60° Brix for both solutions and tus of 2.67 min for xylitol samples and 0 min for sorbitol samples. The application of ultrasound improved dehydration but resulted in depolymerization of fructans.

Convective drying is a time-consuming process. Pretreatments in distilled water assisted with ultrasound, or the application of ultrasound during convective drying itself, could improve the mass transfer. In this work, the influence of pretreatment using distilled water (20 or 40 min at 25 °C) assisted with ultrasound (55.5 W L−1, 40 kHz) on convective drying kinetics (40 and 70 °C, 1 m s−1) of pineapple slices (2.0 cm diameter, 0.5 cm thickness) was studied. The drying was carried out with (31 kWm−3; 21.8 kHz) and without ultrasound application being the kinetics simulated using a diffusive model. The results showed that pretreatment, the use of high drying temperatures, and the application of ultrasound during drying accelerated the drying process. The effective diffusivity identified by the model allowed the quantification of the effects of each of the studied variables on the drying rate of pineapple slices.

Pequi is a fruit from Brazilian Cerrado. Despite its ascorbic acid and carotenoid contents, consumption of pequi is restricted to its region of origin. The goal of this work was to study drying of pequi slices (convective or vacuum drying at 40°C and 60°C) preceded or not preceded by osmotic pretreatment (sucrose solution concentrations of 40% and 60%). It was found that osmotic dehydration pretreatment substantially decreased the moisture content, duration of the drying process, and the volumetric ratio of the dried product. However, it also promoted leaching of bioactive constituents, such as ascorbic acid and carotenoids. Vacuum and low temperature drying without osmotic pretreatment were preferable because the ascorbic acid and carotenoids were retained, rehydration coefficients were higher and there were minimal volume and color changes.

O pequi é uma fruta do cerrado brasileiro que contém altos teores de ácido ascórbico (AA) e carotenóides. No entanto, o consumo de pequi ainda é limitado devido à alta perecibilidade do fruto. O objetivo deste trabalho foi estabelecer as melhores condições para a produção de fatias secas de polpa de pequi, estudando diferentes mecanismos de secagem (convecção ou vácuo, 40 °C e 60 °C) precedidos ou não por pré-tratamento osmótico (40% e 60% de concentração de solução de sacarose). Foi observado que os pré-tratamentos de desidratação osmótica diminuíram a duração do processo de secagem e a variação de volume do produto seco. No entanto, promoveram lixiviação de componentes funcionais, como AA e carotenóides. O emprego de vácuo e baixa temperatura de secagem, sem pré-tratamentos osmóticos, foram superiores a outras condições de secagem, porque produziram fatias de polpa de pequi secas com altos teores de AA e carotenóides e coeficiente de reidratação, moderada duração do processo de secagem e pequenas alterações no volume e na coloração das amostras.

A desidratacao osmotica assistida por pulso de vacuo (PVOD – pulsed vacuum osmotic dehydration) e um processo eficiente para obtencao de alimentos parcialmente desidratados. Devido ao seu elevado teor de umidade os figos precisam ser conservados de alguma maneira. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar o efeito da concentracao da solucao de sacarose (46,6 a 63,4 °B) e de sua temperatura (31,6 e 48,4 °C) assim como, o tempo de pulso de vacuo aplicado a PVOD (74 mmHg, 0 a 40 min) na incorporacao de materia seca e reducao do teor de agua. A desidratacao osmotica foi realizada por 300 min com proporcao amostra/solucao de 1:10 (m/m). O planejamento experimental utilizado foi um delineamento composto central rotacional 2 3 , incluindo 6 pontos axiais e 4 repeticoes no ponto central, totalizando 18 experimentos. O aumento do tempo de pulso de vacuo apresentou efeitos significativos na reducao do teor de umidade e incorporacao de materia seca.
