Notes:
Various experimental treatments have been selectively applied to apple tissue in an effort to determine whether a solid-liquid extraction process could be utilized for manufacturing single strength beverage juice. Vacuum impregnation of enzymatic and chemical solutions showed a positive effect on accelerating the rate of diffusion in the tissues studied. The greatest overall effect on increasing the rate of diffusion was caused by a pretreatment with radio-frequency energy. Observed diffusion coefficients were 4.11 × 10-6 cm2/sec with this treatment, as compared to 1.20 × 10-6 cm2/sec for the control group of samples. Pretreatment techniques are suggested to enhance the rate of diffusion in apple tissue that may be of commercial value.
