Beetroots are sources of bioactive compounds and valued pigments such as betalains. The purpose this study was to determine the influence ultrasound pretreatment on beetroot infrared–hot air drying process functional properties obtained product. In study, there were two used frequencies—21 35 kHz—and three different periods time—10, 20, 30 min. Since beetroots usually subjected thermal treatment, another aim examine blanching soaking tissue in order compare traditional ultrasound-treated methods. As a result it found that changed dry matter content, water activity, thickness tissue, total color difference, contents betanin beetroot. It revealed is shorter after using 21 kHz frequency. Drying exposed ultrasounds showed significant increase L* parameter; however, decrease a* parameter caused by reduced content betalain pigments. Taking into consideration parameters important from technological point view, best condition for 20 min regardless frequency used.
