| Abstract | A thermodynamic approach is proposed to describe the osmo-dehydration treatment of apple pulp. The experimental evidence comes from isothermal desorption trends directly drawn from traces of Knudsen thermogravimetry and is strictly related to the water activity, a $_{W}$, that is continuously recorded during the dehydration progress, thanks to the specific equipment used. The trends recorded concern three kinds of samples, namely, the nontreated and the partially osmo-dehydrated apple pulp and the sugar syrup used for the treatment, the investigations being applied to three different sugar syrups. It was recognized that these desorption trends actually reflect real equilibrium states of the systems considered at every dehydration level. Since the apple pulp may practically be referred to as a two aqueous phase system, namely, intra- and extracellular, the equilibrium condition imposes a $_{W}$ to be the same in either phase. This basic statement supports the view that the desorption trend of the nontreated apple pulp and that of the sugar syrup are actually related to the intra- and extracellular aqueous phases, respectively. The desorption trend of any partially osmo-dehydrated apple pulp remains between them and reflects the bi-phasic nature of the system. The approach also allows a quantitative description of properties and phenomena related to the dehydration, namely, extent of the cell shrinkage, proportion between intra- and extracellular mass, water diffusion coefficient through the cell membrane, expected sensorial differences related to the kind of dehydration process, and heat drying or osmo-dehydration performed with different sugar syrups. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
