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.

LWT - Food Science and Technology, 2005 Abstract Microfiltration (MF) with a 0.14 μm cut-off tubular ceramic membrane was used to clarify West Indian cherry juice under operating conditions of flow rate 8.0 l/min, pressure 0.2 MPa and temperatures 10–40 °C. The analytical results demonstrated that heat treatment was effective in reducing fouling layer specific resistance.
