Aims: In this study, banana rings were dried by a solar tray dryer together with osmotic dehydration called osmosolar dehydration. It was aimed to predict drying conditions Response Surface Method (RSM).Methods and Results: Banana firstly immersed in sucrose solution then dryer. Inputs as chosen concentrations, slice thickness, immerse time time. Also, outputs are water loss, shrinkage ratio ye...

This study was conducted to explore the possibility of utilization of waste residues (pomace) obtained during carrot juice extraction for the preparation of a value added product viz. carrot based condensed milk product (gazrella, an Indian sweetmeat). The carrot pomace was treated osmotically in two ways: Firstly, dipping in 65°Brix sucrose syrup, secondly, by adding 35% sucrose (dry powder) t...
