show the effect of temperature in weight reduction,
according to this Figure Concentration and sample to solution
ratio are constant factors only temperature is varies. Here the
weight reduction is increasing with increasing the temperature. In
osmotic dehydration the weight reduction depends on the
moisture loss and solid gain in banana slices.
The effect of time in weight reduction, according to this figure
Concentration and sample to solution ratio are constant factors
only time is varies. Here the solid gain is increasing with
increasing the time most efficient weight reduction occurred
between 60 to 90 minute indicating that it may not be necessary
to carry out the osmotic treatment step for longer hours.
