Thermoultrasound and microwave-assisted freeze-thaw pretreatments for improving infrared drying and quality characteristics of red dragon fruit slices

The effects of thermoultrasound (US-FT), microwave (MW-FT), and room temperature (RT-FT) freeze–thaw pretreatments were evaluated for improving drying kinetics and quality during infrared drying (IRD) of red dragon fruit slices (RDFS). Results indicated that microstructural alterations induced by th...
