Despite a worldwide increase in demand for fresh-cut fruit and
vegetables, in many countries these products are prepared in
uncontrolled conditions and have the potential to pose substantial
risk for consumers. Correspondingly, researchers have ramped up
efforts to provide adequate technologies and practices to assure
product safety while keeping nutritional and sensory properties
intact. With contributions from experts from industry, research
centers, and academia, Advances in Fresh-Cut Fruits and Vegetables
Processing collates and presents new scientific data in a
comprehensive update on technologies and marketing considerations.
Taking a multidisciplinary approach, this work discusses the basics
and recent innovations in fresh-cut fruit and vegetable processing.
It addresses scientific progress in the fresh-cut area and
discusses the industry and the market for these commodities. The
book covers the regulations that affect the quality of the final
products and their processing as well as consumers' attitude and
sensory perceptions. The chapters cover the design of plants and
equipment, taking into account engineering aspects, safety, and
HACCP guidelines. They also examine innovations in creating healthy
and attractive products. Use of innovative packaging technology
that could improve product quality and shelf life, new fruit
mixtures with more variety, incorporation of flavors, or the use of
steamer bags for vegetables are just a few considerations that
could expand the markets of fresh-cut products. With its focus on
science, including biochemical, physiological, microbiological, and
quality aspects, as well as heath considerations and consumer
science, this book reports on cutting-edge advances and the
practical applications of these advances.
