Resumen
The objective of this work was to evaluate structural properties of plantain
(Musa paradisiaca AAB) during osmotic dehydration (OD) at 2 concentrations and 2 temperatures. Water loss (LW), solid gain (SG), apparent (ρb) and true densities (ρp) were measured during OD. Porosity (ɛ) was calculated using ρb and ρp. Environmental Scanning Electron Microscope (ESEM) micrographs were obtained for both, untreated and treated samples. The major water loss (WL) was found at 45 °Brix dehydrated at 40 °C, whereas the main solid gain (SG) was obtained at 45 °Brix dehydrated at 80 °C. ρp and ρb increase and ɛ reduction with two pseudo-equilibrium periods were found in thecourse of drying. Micrographs revealed that the effect treatments had on two structural anisotropy areas and at depth (800 μm) of the food tissue. Starch shrinkage, gelatinization
and swelling, as well as its anisotropy affect the mass transfer.
