Osmotic dehydration of pumpkin could be a useful technique to obtain new processed products of interest to the consumer. The aim of this work was to analyze the effect of concentration of starch syrup solutions, and temperature, on osmotic dehydration of pumpkin cubes. The process was carried out in a water bath for 60, 180 and 300 min. The most significant changes of water content, water loss and solid gain took place during osmotic dehydration in 66.3% starch syrup at a temperature of 60 oC. Water activity of osmotically dehydrated pumpkin decreased at higher starch syrup concentrations, and at higher temperatures.
