Abstract

This research investigates the effects of various drying procedures and intensification technologies on the color profile of dried fruits and vegetables. The primary goal is to identify the most effective techniques for minimizing degradation, which is frequently caused by exposure to heat, oxygen, and longer drying durations, while retaining the original color of these products. Although conventional techniques like sun and hot air drying are often employed, enzymatic and non-enzymatic brownings usually cause a considerable loss of color. New technologies aim to better preserve the original color by cutting down on processing temperature and drying time. The paper also looks at the possibilities of hybrid drying approaches, which combine techniques such as infrared hot air drying and microwave hot air drying. These methods have been demonstrated to be especially successful in preserving color integrity and enhancing drying process effectiveness. The results highlight the vital significance that parameter optimization and drying technique selection play in maintaining the nutritional value and aesthetic appeal of dehydrated fruits and vegetables. This study emphasizes the significance of developing drying technologies to satisfy consumer desires for premium, aesthetically pleasing food goods, because color is a major factor in determining consumer acceptance and perceived product quality. With wider implications for food preservation and the food industry overall, this work helps to develop more effective and efficient drying processes by shedding light on how various drying techniques affect color retention.
