vacuum drying (VD) on quality of onion slices at different temperature (60–80° C∼ 10 kPa)
was determined. In the first stage, the moisture content of onion slices was reduced to
50%(wb) from 88–90%(wb) using LPSSD; and then it was further reduced up to 7–8%(wb)
by VD. It was found that among the various drying temperatures studied, retention of colour,
rehydration ratio, thio-sulphinate content and antioxidant capacity of dehydrated onion was …
