Bacillus (bacteria); Citrus; Staphylococcus epidermidis; ascorbic acid; bacteria; carbon dioxide; chlorine; clementines; cultivars; ethylene production; fresh produce; fruits; humans; ingestion; maturity stage; oxygen; pH; physiological response; ready-to-eat foods; satsumas; sensory properties; spoilage; storage temperature; titratable acidity; total soluble solids; trays; vegetables
Abstract:
... Minimally processed fruits and vegetables are more perishable than fresh produce as a consequence of tissue damage resulting from processing operations. Wounding, in fact, leads to an increase in respiration activity and ethylene production rate, alters metabolic activity, reduces shelf-life, increases the rate of nutritional and sensory attributes breakdown and leads to browning of the tissues. M ...
