Tropical and subtropical countries have become well aware of the
fact, that they must make better use of their fruits. In spite of
the favourable climatic conditions for the production of varieties
of delicious fruits in such countries, continuously high
tempemtures shorten the shelf-life of most fruits and fruit
products. A tropical climate provides ideal conditions for mpid
growth of spoilage microorganisms and for chemical reactions. Most
of such reactions in fruits and fruit products are deteriomtive in
nature causing high respiration rates, texture softening and
spoilage of fruit. This causes loss of colour, flavour and
vitamins, and browning of fruit products. Even though a fruit
product has been rendered microbiolo gically stable, these chemical
reactions continue to occur in storage, and they occur much more
mpidly in a tropical climate. The processing of fruits and soft
drinks is a predominate food industry in tropical and subtropical
countries. Some of the large companies in such industries are
partly foreign owned. They seem to be efficiently operated with
adequate capital, good management, and technological competence,
all of which are usually imported from the parent company. However,
most of small and medium companies are locally owned, and are
deficient in technology and management ability. The products are
generally fair. It is rare to find a trained quality assurance
manager in these companies. Processing of good fruit products,
especially for export, requires sound fruit processing lines as
well as good managementthat achieves internationally accept ed
standards of quality."
