Abstract
The aim of this research was to study the kinetic behavior of moisture content
and the concentration of sucrose in the plant tissue of osmodehydrated apple
cylinders. Sucrose concentration in samples was modeling using a mathematical solution to Fick's law. Apple cylinders were dehydrated (50°C- 30°Brix and 50°C-50 °Brix). Moisture content and sucrose concentration in 5
thicknesses of the sample (0.5, 2, 4, 7, 10 mm in z direction) were determined.
Results showed the concentration of solutes was higher in the surface than the
sample center. Fick model did not allow an adequate description of the
experimental data in food surface.
