Mass Transfer during Osmotic Dehydration of Tunisian Pomegranate Seeds and Effect of Blanching Pretreatment

In this work, the osmotic dehydration (OD) of Tunisian pomegranate seeds of “El Gabsi” variety was investigated. To optimize the process operating conditions, the effect of temperature, hypertonic solution solid content, and stirring speed was studied. The best conditions resulting in the higher wat...
