Summary

OSMOTIC DEHYDRATION AS AN INTERMEDIATE STEP IN FREEZING OF VEGETABLE TISSUE WAS STUDIED. GREEN BEANS CV BUSH BLUE LAKE-47 WERE OSMOTICALLY CONCENTRATED IN SODIUM CHLORIDE-WATER SOLUTIONS AT THREE CONCENTRATIONS (5, 10, AND 17 % SODIUM CHLORIDE BY WEIGHT) AND THREE TEMPERATURES (8, 20, AND 40 DEG C). MOVEMENT OF SALT AND WATER WAS MODELLED FOR WATER LOSS FROM AND SALT UPTAKE BY THE PRODUCT. GREEN BEANS CONTACTED WITH 10 % SODIUM CHLORIDE-WATER SOLUTION AT 20 DEG C FOR 30 MIN WERE PROCESSED FURTHER B RENI RE EVALUATION OF COLOUR, HARDNESS, TEXTURE, TASTE AND OVERALL ACCEPTABILITY INDICATED THE PRODUCT WAS ORGANOLEPTICALLY ACCEPTABLE.
