Flavor, Quality & StorageDoes a high rehydration ratio mean dried mango has recovered its original fresh texture?
A rehydration ratio describes water uptake under a specified test, not complete restoration of the cells and structure present before drying. Processing damage, dissolved solids, and test conditions influence the result. Record soak conditions and the ratio's definition when comparing dried mango products. A sample can absorb substantial water while remaining texturally different from fresh flesh and still require refrigerated handling after rehydration.
