of fruit and osmotic solution was 1:4. Ultrasound assisted osmotic
dehydration (UDOD) was performed in the ultrasonic bath IS-145
InterSonic (25 kHz, 700 W) with mechanical agitation under ambient osmotic solution having temperature of 28 ± 1 ◦C. Each time
the same concentration of glucose syrup and the proportion of
fruit to osmotic solution, as well as the time of treatment were
used. The fruits after osmotic dehydration were blotted with filter
paper, weighted, spread on the scale pan and dried in the convective chamber dryer. The effectiveness of osmosis was evaluated by
two parameters: Solid Gain (SG) and Water Loss (WL) [see 12]. The
experiments were carried out in duplicate.
