Mechanically pretreated (cut) and osmotically dehydrated cranberries (Vaccinium macrocarpon) were dried using microwaves (MW) under subatmospheric pressure. Two MW modes were tested (continuous and pulsed), two combinations of pulsed MW mode (30 sec on/30 sec off, 30 sec on/45 sec off) and three MW power levels (1.00, 1.25 and 1.50 W g-1 of initial sample mass). Three vacuum levels were compared one to another (3.4, 18.6 and 33.8 kPa of absolute pressure).
