Dataset on Physicochemical Properties, Microbiological Quality and Shelf Life Prediction of Solar Dried Mangoes and Pineapples in Tanzania.

This Data in Brief article provides four tables, three figures, and their raw data (as supplementary material). Table 2 is about physicochemical characteristics which correspond to raw data (S1). Table 3 presents the mean microbial load of dried mango and pineapple samples from two different dryers before storage, Figure 5 (a-c) presents variations in total plate count and fungi in dried fruits between different packaging materials in each drying method, Figure. 6 (a-d) presents microbial loads (log10 CFU g-1) in dried fruits as a function of storage period at 28 °C. Table 4 presents a comparison between the kinetic reaction orders, Table 5 presents regression equations, coefficient of determination (R2) values and estimated shelf lives of dried samples from different drying methods and in packaging materials stored at 28 °C and Figure 7 presents a Bi-plot from principal component analysis of average physicochemical parameters, microbial loads and shelf life of dried fruits processed using different drying methods. All of them correspond to raw data (S 2).

本《数据简报》（Data in Brief）文章包含4张表格、3幅图及其配套原始数据（作为补充材料）。表格2聚焦于理化特性（physicochemical characteristics），其对应原始数据为S1。表格3展示了贮藏前两种不同干燥机处理的芒果干与菠萝干样品的平均微生物载荷。图5（a-c）展示了各干燥方式下，采用不同包装材料的干果的总平板菌落数与真菌数量变化情况。图6（a-d）展示了28℃贮藏条件下，干果的微生物载荷（log10 CFU·g⁻¹）随贮藏时长的变化规律。表格4对比了各动力学反应级数。表格5展示了采用不同干燥工艺、置于不同包装材料中并于28℃条件下贮藏的干燥样品的回归方程、决定系数（coefficient of determination，R²）值以及预估货架期。图7为不同干燥工艺处理的干果的平均理化参数、微生物载荷及货架期的主成分分析双标图（Bi-plot）。所有数据均对应原始数据S2。
