Application of Ultrasound and Curing Agent during Osmotic Dehydration to Improve the Quality Properties of Freeze-Dried Yellow Peach (<i>Amygdalus persica</i>) Slices
This study aimed to improve the quality of freeze-dried yellow peaches (<i>Amygdalus persica</i>). Yellow peaches were pretreated with osmotic dehydration for 15 min prior to vacuum-freeze drying and supplemented with different ultrasonic power levels (180 W, 240 W, 300 W) and a curing a...

Yellow peaches were pretreated with osmotic dehydration for 15 min prior to vacuum-freeze drying and supplemented with different ultrasonic power levels (180 W, 240 W, 300 W) and a curing agent (calcium lactobionate, CaLa) to investigate the effects on the quality of freeze-dried yellow peach slices.
