Long term storage of fruits requires processing interventions such as heating, dehydration. These techniques reduce antinutritional components of fruits, as well as suppress the growth of microorganisms on fruits. Drying techniques work by removing moisture to reduce water activity (aw) to an acceptable level and preventing microbial growth that reduces the shelf life of fruit products. However, these drying processes the quality and nutrient value of fruits. During typical drying, fruits are exposed to heat and oxygen, resulting in flavor, color, and textural changes. Due to thermal stress, many active substances such as vitamins are lost, resulting in fruits that are less nutritious. One of the techniques that may be used to preserve some portion of the quality and nutrient value of fruits, while increasing shelf life is osmotic dehydration. Osmotic dehydration (OD) is a useful technique for the preservation of fruits because it results in a reduction in water activity (aw) while promoting a higher quality product than traditional drying allows.
