“STUDIES ON EFFECT OF PRE-TREATMENTS AND DRYING METHODS ON QUALITY OF DRIED POMEGRANATE ARILS”
Journal Title: International Journal of Agricultural Science and Research (IJASR) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
Studies undertaken to prepare dried pomegranate arils and its quality evaluation are reported here. Pomegranate arils were treated with different pre-treatments (Osmotic treatment, freezing, freezing + osmotic treatment and control) and then dried in sun, solar tunnel and tray drier. Among different pre-treatments osmotic treatment was adjudged to be the best on the basis of its bio-chemical (Yield: 232.54 g/kg, Non-enzymatic browning: 0.21, water loss: 32.28%, solute gain: 3.44 %) and sensory characteristics. Arils dried in tray drier resulted in better quality of dried arils (Drying time 22.13 h, moisture 8.43 %, TSS: 53.97° B, Non-enzymatic browning: 0.21). Osmotic pre-treatment and tray drying was found best for drying of pomegranate arils.
