Sažetak
Asparagus maritimus L. is a rare species growing in the Mediterranean region and is morphologically similar to A. officinalis. Green asparagus, as a healthy but perishable vegetable, is processed after harvest to prevent spoilage and minimize the deterioration of its physical and chemical quality. Similar to other vegetables, changes in color, chemical and textural properties of asparagus occur during thermal treatments, such as drying. The aim of the investigation was to examine the influence of different drying temperatures on the color quality, rehydration capability and chlorophyll content in green asparagus. Drying was performed in a pilot plant tray drier. The drying temperatures for asparagus samples have varied from 40°C, 50°C, 60°C and 70°C at airflow velocity of 2, 75 ms-1. Drying temperature has a significant effect on reducing the chlorophyll content (Chla 54-71%, Chlb 37-63%), rehydration coefficient and total color change of dried ( E* = 3, 3 12, 5) and rehydrated asparagus ( E* = 5, 1 7, 7).
