cranberry juice using osmotic distillation (OD) in combination with freeze-drying. To achieve
this process, OD was performed on a hollow fiber membrane contactor with an initial sugar
content of 8° Brix in the cranberry juice. This solution was concentrated to four different final
concentrations (25, 35, 45 and 57° Brix) with the purpose of reducing the lyophilization time
obtaining a 100% dried product, using as a response variable the processing time. From …
