Abstract

Osmotic dehydration in pineapple cubes by using sucrose solution is able to improve the quality like colour, aroma, texture, appearance as well as overall acceptability. The physico-chemical properties of the product were evaluated during the experiment. There were significant differences among different treatments. The range of recovery % (13.210%-14.780%), TSS°Brix (54.52°Brix-75.40°Brix), reducing sugars % (30.14%-39.80%), non-reducing sugars % (14.67%-43.70%), total sugars (50.20%-73.85%), acidity% (1.45%-1.67%), pH (3.32-3.95), ascorbic acid % (25.1%-35.1%) moisture% (9.95-15.90%), weight loss % (10.25%-32.04%), solid gain % (11.87%-18.65%), dehydrated yield % (13.02%-14.95%), dehydration ratio (6.75-7.77), rehydration ratio (1.23-1.71) were observed.
