Summary The influence of different osmotic solution pretreatments (sucrose and glucose with concentration of 45%) on desorption isotherms and glass transition temperatures ( T g ) of mango was investigated. The Peleg model satisfactorily described the relationship between water activity ( a w ) and moisture content of all samples (0.992 < r 2 <0.997). The equilibrium moisture content of mangoes osmotically pretreated in sucrose was higher than that of samples pretreated in glucose. Differential scanning calorimetry was used to measure the T g of samples equilibrated with different a w (0.12–0.75). The dependence of T g on moisture content was adequately fitted by Gordon–Taylor model (0.946 < r 2 <0.949). The osmo‐dehydrated mangoes showed lower T g than fresh samples at the same moisture content. Additionally, the samples osmotically pretreated in glucose showed the lowest T g value.
