Summary

Carrots were pretreated for 24 hours in distilled water and either dried at 25 deg C for periods from 0 to 320 min or stored at 100 or 97% relative air humidity for 19 weeks. Uniaxial compression, microscopy, and analyses of density and dry matter provided results for evaluating relationships between texture and ultrasonic parameters. The loss of water from turgid carrot tissue did not cause significant change in compressive Young's modulus and fracture work.
