The immersion of food in osmotic medium
before air drying was helpful for improving the final
product quality since acidity of fruit reduced and
prevents the oxidative browning (Ponting, 1973).
Osmotic treatments before freezing were done to
generate different types of fruits that stored for longer
periods with the improvement of texture, flavor, and
color after thawing (Sormani et al., 1999) and reduced
the drip loss on freeze (Lazarides and Mavroudis,
1995).
