Nectarines, plums and peaches were dehydrated with osmotic solutions (glucose at 60°Brix or sorbitol at 60°Brix) at temperature of 35ºC for scheduled periods (0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 h). Thermal properties of fresh and osmotically ...

Because of their permeable skin, terrestrial amphibians are constantly challenged by the potential risk of dehydration. However, some of the physiological consequences associated with dehydration may affect aspects that ...

The catalytic properties of monomodal microporous and bimodal micro-mesoporous zeolites were investigated in the gas-phase dehydration of glycerol. The desilication methodology used to produce the mesoporous zeolites ...

Osmotic dehydration (OD) process permits to improve the organoleptic characteristics of the products; nevertheless, depending of the product, the incorporation of great amounts of solute can be not desirable for consumers. ...
