Popis:	The penetration pattern of biopolymers in plant tissue during processing was studied. Carrot dices were infused with dye-dextran standards of different molecular weights (T10, T40, T70 and T500). Polymers of smaller size were found within the intercellular spaces and the cell walls. Larger polymers were found only in broken cells near the surface of the tissue. Biopolymers of small size were theorized to provide strength to the cell wall of plant tissue and assist in maintaining cellular integrity during dehydration. This was further verified in that the dextrans of molecular weight of 10,000 produced best quality dehydrated carrots with high rehydration ratio, more retention of carotenoids and high water-holding capacity.
