as it follows from both the drying curve (DC) and the
sample temperature curve (ST). Application of osmotic dehydration caused the reduction of an initial water content to about
3.26 and 2.31 [kg kg−1 db], in cherry samples preceded by osmosis
and dewatering assisted with ultrasounds, respectively. Thus, the
power ultrasound increases the water diffusion from the biomaterial immersed in an osmotic agent solution. As it follows from Fig. 1,
the sample temperature profiles of dried cherries with preliminary
OD and UDOD were also changed with respect to that without OD.
