Summary

USING SELECTED PLASTICIZATION, FREEZE-DRIED CARROT CUBES WERE COMPRESSED INTO BARS, STORED FOR 6 MONTHS, AND EXAMINED. MICROWAVE PLASTICIZATION PRODUCED BETTER REHYDRATION VALUES, LOWER SHEAR VALUES, LOWER CO2, AND HIGHER O2 HEADSPACE LEVELS THAN THE CONVENTIONAL OVEN MOISTURE EQUILIBRATION METHOD. CARROTS EQUILIBRATED BY MICROWAVE ENERGY AND STORED AT 276 K (3 DEG C) SCORED HIGHEST SUBJECTIVELY AND OBJECTIVELY.
