The quality of a new variety of apple, ‘Jonagored’, after peeling and cutting was evaluated during ten days of storage in air at 4C. The objective was to evaluate the shelf-life of apple cubes by detecting the limiting parameter and to test the influence of different chemical dips on the cut apple quality with the aim of extending shelf-life. Color, i.e. browning at the cut surface, was found to be the critical...
The shelf-life of chilled cut orange was evaluated in terms of physical and chemical quality characteristics, microbial contamination and sensorial acceptability. After minimal processing (peeling and cutting), fresh orange was stored in air at 4 °C. Evaluations were performed at different times of storage. The respiration rate of the fresh-cut orange was also evaluated. No significant increase was noticed in r...
