Abstract

The effect of calcium lactate on osmotically dehydrated apple slices was monitored during storage. Osmotic dehydration (OD) was carried out using 50°Bx sucrose solutions with 4% and 8% calcium lactate (CL) at atmospheric pressure for 16 hours followed by dehydration. Samples were periodically evaluated for physicochemical characteristics, microbiological quality and sensory acceptance, stored at 25 ± 2ºC for 120 days at an interval of 15 days. Moisture content of all the treated samples increased significantly (p<0.05) during storage. The calcium salt significantly (p<0.05) reduced the non-enzymatic browning in samples treated with calcium lactate during storage. Maximum microbial stability was observed in the samples treated with 8% calciu...
