The hardness, chewiness and gumminess of berries processed by
HACD were several times higher in comparison with berries
processed by MWVD or HACD + MWVD. Cohesiveness of fruits
did not change during drying. Springiness of samples dried by
HACD at 90 C as well as combined HACD at 90 C + MWVD did
not differ statistically from the springiness of control (non-dried)
sample, while samples processed by other drying methods were
much more resilient (Table 3).
