Comparison <strong>of</strong> <strong>loss</strong>es in <strong>drying</strong> with other processes<br />

The type <strong>of</strong> processing used influenced on the level <strong>of</strong> <strong>carotenoid</strong> <strong>loss</strong>. Highest retention<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>carotenoid</strong>s was obtained with steamed <strong>and</strong> boiled carrots (under or without pressure)<br />

as compared with moist/dry <strong>and</strong> dehydrated carrots for 7.5 h at 65ºC in a forced air oven,<br />

respectively on β-carotene: 22; 23; 25% as opposed to 32 <strong>and</strong> 35.0% (Pinheiro-Santana<br />

et al. 1998). Steaming <strong>and</strong> boiling <strong>of</strong> 23 sweet potato varieties with various initial<br />

<strong>carotenoid</strong> contents induced an average <strong>loss</strong> in total <strong>carotenoid</strong> content <strong>of</strong> 20% while<br />

<strong>drying</strong> in an oven at 65ºC for 12 h induced a <strong>loss</strong> <strong>of</strong> 30% (Hagenimana et al. 1999).<br />

Using six yellow <strong>and</strong> orange-fleshed sweet potato cultivars (12.4-108.0 µg.g -1 fresh<br />

basis) from Kenya showed that <strong>loss</strong>es were less during boiling than roasting<br />

(respectively 12.1 <strong>and</strong> 14.9%) while shade <strong>drying</strong> had higher <strong>loss</strong>es <strong>of</strong> 21% (Kidmose et
