The focus of this research was to analyze the physico-chemical and nutritional quality of a solar dried grape pomace as affected by eight chemical pre-treatments. Based on preliminary tests, grape pomace was dipped in 1% (w/v) Calcium chloride (T1), 1% (w/v) Citric acid (T2), 1% (w/v) Potassium metabisulphite (T3), 2% (w/v) Sodium chloride (T4) independently and 1% (w/v) Citric acid along with 0.5% (w/v) potassium metabisulphite (T5), 1% (w/v) Calcium chloride along with 0.5% (w/v) citric acid (T6) and 1% (w/v) Potassium metabisulphite along with 1% (w/v) calcium chloride (T7), and in water solution (T8) for 5 minutes. Quality characteristics of dehydrated grape pomace viz. moisture content, Tss, sugars, titratable acidity, total polyphenol and anthocyanins content, recovery %, dehydration ratio, rehydration and reconstitutability ratio as affected by pretreatment process were studied. The results expressed that the dehydrated grape pomace pre-treated with 1% (w/v) Potassium metabisulphite along with 1% (w/v) calcium chloride (T7) had recorded highest recovery per cent (26.32), rehydration ratio (1.57), reconstitutability ratio (0.41), TSS (8.69°B), reducing sugars (12.84%), total sugars (16.63%), minimum acidity (0.66%) and lowest dehydration ratio (3.79), with preferred moisture content (5.60%) followed by 1% (w/v) Citric acid along with 0.5% (w/v) potassium metabisulphite (T5). Higher content of total polyphenols (17.21mg/100g) and anthocyanins (62.08mg/100g) were recorded in 1% (w/v) Citric acid along with 0.5% (w/v) potassium metabisulphite (T5).
