Abstract:

The objective of this work was to study the influence of parameters (temperature, solute and concentration) on kinetics of water loss (WL) and on interaction effect of these parameters on water loss (WL), solute gain (SG) and weight reduction (WR) on osmotic dehydration of plantain cultivar French. The study was carried out using a factorial experimental design. This experimental design was composed of two factors with three levels and one factor with two levels, which gives a total of 18 tests to be carried out. Three parameters were considered: solute (glucose and sucrose), temperature (30, 50 and 70 °C) and concentration (50, 60 and 70 °Brix). Results showed that the increase of the concentration of solution and the temperature entraine an increase of WL. WL varies from 16.06-42.06 % and 18.48-44.87 % respectively with glucose and sucrose. WL, SG and WR after 8 h of immersion of the whole of the 18 tests were respectively of 36.41-65.86 %; 12, 66-19.66 % and 22.52-50, 40 %. Sucrose gives the most important water losses that glucose. The factors taken into account in this study (solute, temperature and concentration) showed significant effects on WL, SG and WR of plantain.
