Abstract

Chilli pepper (Capsicum frutescens) is appreciated for thousands of years as a spice and it is on the population’s table all over the world. To attend consumers’ demand and local markets as well as foreign market this crop has expanded in several Brazilians states. They provide material for food and agricultural industries and can be consumed in natura and processed in other products lines. The objective of this work was to optimize osmotic dehydration process of chilli pepper (Capsicum frutescens) using dehydrating solutions with sugar/cinnamon tea and sugar/distilled water to observe water loss (WL) and solid gain (SG). There were no significant differences between the dehydrating solutions for both water loss (WL) and solids gain (SG).
