Abstract

This article studies the impact of freeze-drying time and energy consumption on apple product quality in Uzbekistan in 2019–2024 through econometric analysis. Using correlation and regression methods, the relationship between drying time, energy consumption, and product quality (vitamin C retention) was identified. Based on the results analyzed in the STATA program, suggestions were made to increase energy efficiency and improve product quality.
