All frozen samples were thawed by the method of water shift
microwave thawing using approximately 500 g of litchis each time.
This was done using a microwave with a power level of 240 Watts,
with a ratio of water to litchis of about 1:1 (v/v), with an initial
water temperature of 20
C for each storage time. Samples were
thawed until the temperature at the center of the fruit reached 0
C
and quality was then analyzed
