Osmotic dehydration was carried out on fresh and frozen/thawed Tommy Atkins mango slices in agave syrup (AS), with and without added inulin and xanthan gum. Effect of freeze/thawing on mango tissue was determined through firmness and electrical conductivity. Results indicated that (i) fresh mango was 4.4 times firmer and its electrical conductivity, 8.3 times lower than frozen/thawed samples, (ii) frozen/thawed OD samples showed an increase in sugar gain, (iii) lower sugar gain was obtained for all samples when polysaccharides were added to AS, (iv) AS with added inulin and xanthan gum produced the lowest sugar gain for all samples.
