TL;DR: An overview of AP technologies, such as antimicrobial, antioxidant or carbon dioxide-releasing systems, and systems absorbing oxygen, moisture or ethylene, is provided, and scientific publications illustrating the benefits of such technologies for specific food products are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flavor, color, and vitamin C retention of pulsed electric field processed orange juice in different packaging materials.
TL;DR: Effects of packaging materials, storage temperature, and time on the stability of pulsed electric field (PEF) processed orange juice were investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intermittent microwave-convective drying of red pepper: drying kinetics, physical (colour and texture) and sensory quality.
TL;DR: In this paper, the effectiveness of various microwave-convective drying treatments were compared to convective air drying and commercial belt drying to establish the most favorable drying condition in terms of drying kinetics and dried product quality.
Journal ArticleDOI
Overall Quality and Shelf Life of Minimally Processed and Modified Atmosphere Packaged “Ready-to-Eat” Pomegranate Arils
Zehra Ayhan,Okan Esturk +1 more
TL;DR: Overall, the pomegranate arils packed with air, nitrogen, and enriched oxygen kept quality attributes and were acceptable to sensory panelists on day 18; however, marketability period was limited to 15 d for the low oxygen atmosphere.
Journal ArticleDOI
The shelf‐life of minimally processed fresh cut melons
TL;DR: Honeydew and cantaloupe melons were surface sterilized by scrubbing with a hypochlorite solution at low level (200 ppm total available chlorine) and high level (2000 ppmtotal available chlorine), peeled and cut into chunks Fruit pieces were dipped in a dilute hypochlimite solution (pH 6) of 50 ppm totalavailable chlorine prior to packaging under an atmosphere of 95% N 2 and 5% O 2 and storage at 22C Unwashed and water-washed samples were also prepared as controls Microbial counts and sensory analyses were monitored during a
