Studies of the Development of Dehydrated Salad Vegetables

Abstract

Studies were made on the development of dehydrated salad vegetables using chemical treatments such as glycerol, polycerols, and gums. Results indicate that locust beam gum is a viable alternative to glycerol for use in the preparation of dehydrated celery slices. In future work, a uniform source of the gum should be found and the optimum concentration determined. In addition, various combinations of locust beam gum and glycerol should be tested.
