The aim of this work was to study the effect of temperature and air velocity on the drying kinetics and quality attributes of apple (var. Granny Smith) slices during drying. Experiments were conducted at 40, 60 and 80 degrees C, as well as at air velocities of 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 m s(-1). Effective moisture diffusivity increased with temperature and air velocity, reaching a value of 15.30 x 10(-9) m(2) s(-1) at maximum temperature and air velocity under study. The rehydration ratio changed with varying both air velocity and temperature indicating tissue damage due to processing. The colour difference, Delta E, showed the best results at 80 degrees C. The DPPH-radical scavenging activity at 40 degrees C and 0.5 m s(-1) showed the highest antioxidant activity, closest to that of the fresh sample. Although Delta E decreased with temperature, antioxidant activity barely varied and even increased at high air velocities, revealing an antioxidant capacity of the browning products. The total phenolics decreased with temperature, but at high air velocity retardation of thermal degradation was observed. Firmness was also determined and explained using glass transition concept and microstructure analysis. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
