Osmotic dehydration is a viable process for the partial removal of water in which cellular materials are placed in a concentrated solution of soluble solute. The initial results showed that the values of mass transfer terms (0.2 (g/g) water loss and 0.03 (g/g) solid gain) at the studied range of pro...
