The effects of color, texture and weight loss were studied in osmotically dehydrated Bramley’s seedling apple variety. This variety is an apple cultivar with a unique blend of taste and astringency that is excellent for use in pies and other baked goods. The apple slices were subjected to a range of osmotic treatments in 60%(w/v) sucrose solution as follows: (i) samples were soaked at 20°C for 4 hours and were tested hourly; (ii) samples were soaked at 20°C for 60 minutes and were tested every 15 minutes; (iii) samples were soaked for 30 minutes at 5, 10, 15 or 20°C and (iv) effects of sodium metabisulphite, ascorbic acid or citric acid mixture in the soaking solution. Results show that the weight loss ranged from 5.5% to 7.1% and the soluble solids rose from 11.3% to 13.8%. The researchers observed a change in color and OD treated apple slices during processing. The whiteness of apple slices decreased dramatically due to oxidation by enzymes. They suggested that elimination of dissolved oxygen from the soak solution might be beneficial for retaining the color of OD treated apples. This can be achieved by using antioxidants such as ascorbic, citric acid or sulphur dioxide to prevent oxidative enzyme reactions. Citric acid inclusion gave firmer apple slices (26).
