Osmotic dehydration of green mango samples (Mangifera indica L., Filipino var.) in ternary solutions

Background: in Colombia the consumption of fresh green mango (also known as mango “biche”) is quite popular, and is consumed with lemon juice, salt, and honey. However, its high humidity content and high water activity makes of mango a highly perishable fruit, thus requiring processing alternatives....
