1 st WorkshopXIII International Feed Technology SymposiumOsmotic dehydration was carried out at 55°C under atmospheric pressure. The materialto solution ratio was 1:4 (w/w). After osmotic dehydration the apple pieces wereremoved from osmotic solutions, washed with water <strong>and</strong> gently blotted to removeexcessive water.Finally, according to AOAC methods [6], we determined: content <strong>of</strong> dry matter, sucrosecontent, total content <strong>of</strong> reducing sugars, <strong>and</strong> invert sugar content, K, Na, Ca <strong>and</strong> Mg inthe molasses prior to osmotic dehydration <strong>and</strong> after 1, 3 <strong>and</strong> 5 hours <strong>of</strong> immersion.RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONQuantitative technological scheme <strong>of</strong> the osmotic dehydration process was shown inFigure 1.The starting moisture content <strong>of</strong> apple samples was 86.42%, while the osmodehydratedproduct had dry matter content (SM) increased by more than 3.5 times. Table 1 showsthe basic chemical composition <strong>of</strong> sugar beet molasses before <strong>and</strong> after osmoticdehydration (OD) <strong>of</strong> apple.Table 1.
