Changes in antioxidant capacity, percent polymeric color and visual color were also used as quality indicators of Cornelian cherry dried at 50 degrees, 60 degrees and 70 degrees C for 36, 13.5 and 6 h, respectively. A zero-order kinetic model was obeyed for polymeric color formation. First-order reaction kinetics was found for the degradations of monomeric anthocyanins and L-ascorbic acid, while losses in total phenolics, total flavonoids and antioxidant capacity followed second-order kinetic model. The changes in color parameters also obeyed first-order kinetics. The activation energy for the degradations of bioactive compounds was observed in the range of 48.2-78.7 kJ moL(-1). L* parameter with the highest activation energy (200.08 kJ moL(-1)) was pointed out in this study. Also, a higher sensitivity to temperature for the antioxidant capacity is evidenced by higher activation energy (83.3 kJ moL(-1)). This study concluded that drying at high temperature (70 degrees C) with a short time promoted retentions in bioactive compounds.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessCornelian CherryDrying KineticAnthocyaninAntioxidant CapacityL-Ascorbic AcidArticle10.1007/s11694-019-00124-5133203220402-s2.0-85064340791Q2WOS:000481420900044Q3
