Drying and Rehydration Kinetics of Mangoes: Solute Effects

Maldonado, Silvina

Abstract

The drying and rehydration behavior of dried mangoes, the solute incorporation effect during rehydration and the applicability of Fick’s second law to the adjustment of experimental data were evaluated. Slabs of mango were dried in a discontinuous operation at 45, 50, and 60 °C and two airflows: 15 m/s and 3.5 m/s. Samples were rehydrated in water, glucose solution or sucrose solution. The quality indices of WAC, DHC and RA during rehydration were determined. Drying of mango occurred during the falling rate period, in two stages independent of airflow used. There was a greater diffusion with increase in temperature and a minor effective diffusion coefficient when velocity airflow diminished. During rehydration of the dried product we observed that water incorporation was greater for glucose-rehydrated samples than for sucrose-rehydrated samples, and, in both cases, the obtained values were lower than the value for pure water. Sucrose- and glucose-rehydrated samples show a countervailing effect with respect to solid loss. Samples that were rehydrated in solute had lower WAC values than samples rehydrated in pure water, and diffusion was favored by solute incorporation. Deff varied during the rehydration process along with the water content of the system. Sorption properties of dried mangoes were studied to evaluate the store conditions of the product. Sorption was conducted by the isopiestic method at 8°, 25° and 35°C. We observed isotherms of type J, which are characteristic of foods with high sugar contents. According to the sorption results, and considering frequently storage conditions for extreme times of the year, we can infer that when the weather is hot and humid, the temperature will not produce changes, but the humidity will have a negative effect.
