Abstract

The aim of this paper was to investigate changes in quality of different apple varieties and to define technological parameters for preservation by different drying methods. Apples were dried convectively, by dehydrofreezing and freeze-drying. Dehydrofreezing was conducted in two variants, with double and treble increase of dry substance. The influence of dehydration way and level on changes in chemical composition and sensory properties of apples, cut in cubes, were examined. The best results were recorded for the freeze-dried samples, where the content of vitamin C, form, colour and taste were best preserved in each investigated apple variety. Also, the best results were obtained during rehidration of these samples. Classically dried samples were scored the worst. Double were concentrated dehydrofrozen samples were worse scored than freeze-dried. There are no significant differences in the sensory estimation between examinated apples variety, although the varieties with the greatest total acid content were somewhat better stored.
