Özet
In this study, the ohmic heating system was used as a novel application for osmotic dehydration of quince. After osmotic dehydration, samples were dried by microwave. In this regard, the effects of process variables such as electrical field strengths (20, 30 and 40 V/cm), holding time (10, 20 and 30 minutes), microwave power (90, 180 and 270 W) and sucrose concentration (0%, 25% and 50%) on dielectric constant, dielectric loss factor, rehydration ratios, total phenolic compounds and color values were investigated by response surface methodology (RSM). Optimum conditions were found as 40 V/cm electrical field strength, 30 min holding time, 16.67% sucrose concentration and 270 W microwave power. Total phenolic content, rehydration ratio, color differences and dielectric properties of the novel method were found to be higher than that of control. Moreover, Midilli and Wang & Sing models gave the superior fit to the moisture ratio data obtained during drying.
