Effects of variable-temperature drying on nutritional components, antioxidant capacity, and flavor (volatile and non-volatile compounds) of Xinjiang figs

A two-stage variable-temperature drying (VTD) process was optimized to improve the drying efficiency and quality of Xinjiang figs. The optimal conditions were 55 °C followed by 80 °C at a loading capacity of 2.73 g/dm2. Compared with constant-temperature drying at 60 °C, VTD shortened the drying time by 44.8%, reduced...
