RESUMEN
El secado prolonga la vida útil de los alimentos, conservando su valor nutritivo. En este
trabajo se deshidrataron láminas de manzana Israel de 2mm de grosor y 4.7 cm de
diámetro. Las láminas de manzana fueron sometidas a un tratamiento de acidificación
para luego pasar a la deshidratación y con ello estimar el porcentaje de humedad
removida.
ABSTRACT
The drying prolongs the useful life of the food, conserving its nutritional value. In this
work, Israel apple slices 2mm thick and 4.7 cm in diameter were dehydrated. The apple
slices were subjected to an acidification treatment to then dehydrate and thus estimate the
percentage of moisture removed.
Oxidation is caused by the action of the polyphenoloxidase that is located in the center
of the fruit and in the proximity to the shell; to avoid this phenomenon, the central part
was removed before rolling the apple; Then the slices were submerged in a 0.5% citric
acid solution for 2 to 3 minutes, thus retarding the browning of the pulp, then the drying
technique was carried out in an oven at a temperature of 65 ° C for a period of 60 minutes
to its constant weight. The moisture removed was 77.21 and 77.01%, preserving the
nutritional properties of the apple.
