Popis: The effects of pretreatment with ultrasound and an osmotic solution combined with hot air convection drying on the total polyphenol content (TPC), antioxidant activity and microstructural of murtilla skin fruit were evaluated. The effects of ultrasound frequency (0 and 130 kHz), osmotic solution concentration (0 and 70 °Brix) and time (60 or 120 min) on the TPC and the antioxidant activities as measured by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) and oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) assays were evaluated. The TPC and DPPH antioxidant activity decreased significantly (p
