Mass transfer during the osmotic dehydration of West Indian cherry
LWT - Food Science and Technology, 2012 AbstractThe main purpose of this work was to study water loss, solids gain, and weight and moisture reduction during the osmotic dehydration process of the West Indian cherry (Malpighia punicifolia). The diffusion coefficient of West Indian cherry was estimated by the inverse method using average moisture contents.
