Use of Osmotic Dehydration Assisted by Ultrasound to Obtain Dried Mango Slices Enriched With Isomaltulose

Scientists developed a new method to dry mango slices while making them healthier by adding isomaltulose, a natural sugar that doesn’t spike blood sugar like regular sugar. Using sound waves to help the process, they incorporated this beneficial sugar into the mangoes in just 20 minutes of treatment. The dried mangoes maintained important nutrients like vitamin C and stayed stable during storage, making them a nutritious snack option for health-conscious consumers.

Effects of Osmotic Dehydration on Mass Transfer of Tender Coconut Kernel

This research explores how to preserve tender coconut kernels by removing water through a process called osmotic dehydration, where the kernels are mixed with sugar or sorbitol. The study found that a dry sugar method works much better than soaking in sugar water, and that sorbitol is more effective than regular sugar at removing water while adding desirable compounds. These findings can help food manufacturers create new coconut products.
