Prediction of the freeze-drying time of Araza (Eugenia Stipitata) using mathematical models
Abstract
The post-harvest industry is one of the sources of income for Ecuadorians since the country presents favorable conditions for the sowing of a wide variety of agricultural products, among them the vegetables and fruits that are consumed daily in our country and that never stand out. they are missing from the consumers' table. Fruits, which are the fruits or the fleshy parts of flower organs that reach a certain degree of maturity for their harvest and subsequent consumption, provide essential vitamins and nutrients to a balanced diet as it optimizes metabolism and favors digestion. It is also characterized by its low caloric content and a sale price which is affordable for consumers. The araza is a climacteric fruit typical of the Ecuadorian Amazon region that has a vitamin C content of 74%, twice that of the orange, but as it is a food with more than 90% humidity, it tends to decompose quickly. Therefore, the physical-chemical characteristics and freeze-drying time of the fruit were determined through mathematical models using the RStudio software to simulate the freeze-drying process and thus preserve its vitamin content. The freeze-drying time of the araza was 26.07 h, a value that is ideal for freeze-dried foods.
