THE INFLUENCE OF TEMPERATURE OF FREEZE-DRYING PROCESS ON THE MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF DRIED MUSHROOMS

Ryszard Kramkowski, Krzysztof Banasik, Piotr Gawlik

 

ABSTRACT



Some mechanical properties of fresh and freeze-dried mushrooms have been described. Modulus of elasticity was determined from the squeezing tests. The set quantities have been related to the heating plate temperature and density of samples. The obtained relationships have been approximated with exponential functions.

Key words: mechanical properties, mushroom, freeze-drying, modulus of elasticity.
