This research was focused on the evaluation of diffusion phenomenon in selected vegetables for the purpose of acidification and salting in order to aid in acidification thermal processing and ohmic heating applications, respectively. Acidification helps to carryout thermal processing of low acid foods at lower temperatures and hence results in reduced energy costs with improved nutrient retention, while salting helps to accelerate the ohmic heating process. A central composite rotatable design (CCRD) was employed for the design of experiments, using solute concentration (salt or acid), treatment time and solution to particle ratio as process variables. In addition, the effect of high pressure on acid and salt diffusion, and finally de-acidi...
