Notes:
Water sorption isotherms of freeze-dried strawberries were determined using the interval sorption technique. The surface temperature during freeze-drying (from 20°C to 60°C) affected the hygroscopicity of the strawberries, particularly below 0.40 aw. Over 1 yr, quality changes in dried strawberries were evaluated by sensory analysis at 3-month intervals. Crushing before drying and low processing temperatures improved sensory quality of dried strawberries and vacuum packaging improved storage stability.
