However, when freeze
drying was applied to samples with SI pretreatment (8.4±
0.2 g water/100 g d.w. for dices; 10.10±0.16 g water/100 gd.w. for discs), only a small decrease of water content compared
with the correspondent control (10.5±0.4 g water/100 g
d.w. for dices; 11.1±0.2 g water/100 g d.w. for discs) was
obtained.
