Abstract
Two methods for the preservation of apricot pieces of three cultivars (Goldrich, Moniqui, Dulcinea) were investigated: i) edible coatings (caseinates-lauric acid, gluten-glycerol, CMC-stearic acid) and cold storage and ii) osmotic dehydration (glucose and raftilose solutions of 61.5%) and frozen storage.
Treated samples were examined for their moisture loss, colour and texture-firmness.
