Summary

QUALITY PARAMETERS MEASURED WERE COLOUR, TEXTURE, REHYDRATION RATIO, CAROTENE, ASCORBIC ACID, ALPHATOCOPHEROL, AND SENSORY ACCEPTANCE. A HIGH QUALITY COMPRESSED CARROT BAR COULD BE OBTAINED BY FREEZE-DRYING TO 20-40% MOISTURE, EQUILIBRATING WITH MICROWAVE ENERGY, COMPRESSING, THEN AIR DRYING AT 333 K (60 DEG C). THE SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPE PROVED USEFUL IN DELINEATING REASONS FOR DIFFERENCES IN TEXTURE AND REHYDRATION.
