The present work aimed to study kinetics of osmotic dehydration of seedless guava in terms of solid gain and water loss, which was evaluated at three sucrose concentration levels (30, 40 and 50% w/w), three temperature levels of osmotic solution (30, 40 and 50°C) for 240 min. The experimental data w...
