New application of positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS) to development of food processing techniques is tested. Dehydrated leeks were an object of the study. Three experiments were performed consisting of evacuating air and volatile compounds from the sample, applying thermal treatment and rehydrating the sample. Distinct changes in positron lifetime spectra allowed the monitoring of alterations in the sample structure. The most likely origin of the particular components present in the spectra was able to be proposed from these data. Changes of the components were ascribed to the various processes occurring in the samples.
