  Osmotic dehydration is usually employed to lower the water activity of fruits and vegetables and thus has a wide range of applications in food preservation. This study investigates the osmotic dehydration of garden egg (Solanum aethiopicum) using sodium chloride solution (NaCl) of varying concentrations (20, 40 and 60)% w/w as osmotic solutions. Different parameters such as percentage water loss (%WL), weight reduction (%WR) and solid gain (%SG) were investigated at different solution temperature (25, 35, 45, 55, and 65)°C, agitation time (20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, 140, 160 and 180) min and osmotic solution concentration (20, 40 and 60)% w/w to ascertain the optimum dehydration per..
