High quality dried strawberries were obtained using convective infrared drying.
Drying process increased antioxidant activity, total phenol (TPC) and anthocyanins (TAC).
Drying processes increased fruit N, P and K but decreased Ca, Mg, Fe and Mn.
TAC and TPC were higher at 300 W (80 °C; 2.0 m.s−1) and at 60 °C (200 W; 2.0 m.s−1).
TAC and TPC were higher at 1.0 m.s−1 (80 °C; 200 W) in infrared drying process.
