The present work uses a new method for drying pumpkin slices,
which is the fountain-microwave method. The aim was to determine
selected mechanical features, chlorophyll and carotenoids
content, as well as general polyphenols and antioxidant properties,
and also water activity in dry slices of 5 cultivars of pumpkin dried
with the fountain-microwave method at 100 and 250 W.
