A comparative study was conducted on the effect of vacuum impregnation and drying methods on the production of dried sweet potatoes with high bioactivity. The present study determined the quality and physicochemical properties of dried sweet potato depending on the used impregnating solutions. Sweet potatoes were pretreated in freshly squeezed onion (O) and kale (K) juice, onion and kale (OK) mixture (1:1), and sodium chloride solution. Vacuum impregnation (VI) was carried out under reduced pressure (6 kPa) for 2 min, after which the impregnating solution was dispensed and maintained under vacuum for 4 min. Sweet potato slices were dried using vacuum drying (VD) and freeze drying (FD) methods. Higher content of polyphenols, carotenoids, and chlorophyll, as well as increased antioxidant capacity and higher VOC profile, were recorded for the dried products obtained using the sublimation method. The use of vacuum impregnation reduced the hardness of the products and other textural characteristics, such as cohesiveness, springiness, and gumminess. Furthermore, we found that vacuum impregnation pretreatment was a beneficial method for improving the characteristics of dried vegetables. The highest content of phenolics, carotenoids, and chlorophylls in dried sweet potatoes were recorded when samples were impregnated with onion and kale juice. For the fresh sweet potato, the highest contribution in VOC composition had phenylacetaldehyde (44.90%), (E)-2-octen-1-al (9.43%), and benzaldehyde (8.18%), respectively. The interesting content of VOC profile compounds in dried sweet potatoes was recorded when samples were impregnated with kale juice.

Microwave and steam blanching as pretreatments to hot air drying of orange-fleshed sweet potato (OFSP) were studied. The air-drying experiment was performed at constant temperature of 70°C and airflow of 1.0 m/s. The effective moisture diffusivity varied from 1.5 × 10 − 9 to 4.4 × 10 − 9 m2/s, and 1.1 × 10 − 10 to 7.9 × 10 − 10 m2/s, for the microwave and blanched assisted hot air drying, respectively. The activation energy obtained for the various microwave-assisted hot air drying was 29.1 W/mm for 4 min, 68.1 W/mm for 3 min, and 79.7 W/mm for 2 min. Ascorbic acid degradation and formation of brown pigments in the OFSP slices were lower in microwave than in steam blanch-assisted drying. Microwave-assisted drying of OFSP is best governed by Page model, M R = exp − k t n , while the blanch-assisted followed the logarithmic model, M R = a   exp − k t + c . To produce better quality OFSP flour, it is recommended to cut the tubers into 3 mm slices, microwave at a power of 630 W for 2 min or blanch for 1 min, 43 seconds prior to hot air drying.
