The effect of pre-treatments on the colour of freeze-dried strawberries was studied. Strawberries were subjected to different ultrasound and osmotic dehydration conditions followed by freeze-drying. Two concentration levels of sucrose solution (25 and 50 % w/w) and four levels of processing time (from 10 min to 45 min) were studied. Also, ultrasound application without using an osmotic solution was studied. Colour was quantified with a colorimetric analysis (CIE LCh). Sonicated strawberries presented higher lightness (L) and lower hue (h) than fresh and non-treated strawberries (control samples). The sonicated and osmo-sonicated strawberries have presented a more reddish and vivid colour then the control samples.
