A new pretreatment method using high humidity hot air impingement blanching (HHAIB) followed by pulsed vacuum drying (PVD) was employed for Thompson seedless drying. The effect of this dehydration technique on phytochemicals content (ascorbic acid, total phenols and chlorophyll), antioxidant capacity (tetraethylammonium chloride, TEAC, ferric ion-reducing antioxidant power, FRAP and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydracyl, DPPH) and rehydration kinetics of Thompson seedless grape was explored. Results revealed that both HHAIB and PVD had a significant influence on phytochemicals composition and antioxidant capacity. After blanching for 150 s, the ascorbic acid and total chlorophyll content reduced by about 33% and 51%, respectively, while the total phenols and antioxidant capacity increased significantly ( p   0.05). Ultrastructure observations explained why the total phenols and antioxidant capacity increased even as the ascorbic acid and total chlorophyll decreased. The findings indicate that HHAIB can enhance the total phenols content and antioxidant capacity of seedless grapes during blanching process and after drying. This information could be useful to change the general believed hypothesis that thermal processes lower the nutritional value of fruits and vegetables.
