Implication

Investigations show drying methods influence quality attributes of tomato pulp leather, indicating optimal processing techniques.

Key Points

  • This study aims to evaluate how different drying methods impact the quality characteristics of tomato pulp leather.
  • Investigated drying characteristics using tray drying and hot air oven methods.
  • Conducted sensory evaluation using a 9-point hedonic scale.
  • Analyzed physicochemical properties including moisture content, pH, and vitamin C.
  • Performed microbiological analysis to assess yeast and mold counts over storage period.
  • T3 and T5 samples exhibited superior sensory characteristics during evaluation.
  • Decreased moisture content from initial values over a 45-day storage period for both samples.
  • Maximum drying rate for T3 was 0.33 g/min in the first hour.
  • Microbial load remained within acceptable limits, ensuring safety during storage.
