Description of
Fruits and Vegetable Processing Technology
The application of new technologies and enrichment by some ingredients during manufacture of high valuable final products. Products of fruits and vegetables and the usual technological processes. Application of new technologies like high hydrostatic pressure, pulsed electric field, microwaves, ultraviolet light in processing of fruits and vegetables. The secret of a well planned fruit and vegetable processing centre is that it must be designed to operate for as many months of the year as possible. This means the facilities, the buildings, the material handling and the equipment itself must be inter-linked and coordinated properly to allow as many products as possible to be handled at the same time, and yet the equipment must be versatile enough to be able to handle many products without major alterations. High pressure processing, pulsed electric fields, microwaves - these technologies (collectively referred to as "advanced processing technologies") aren't widely commercialized in the United States yet. But, as processors work to meet the demands of consumers who want high-quality, natural foods without unpronounceable ingredients, interest in advanced technologies is growing. Fruit and vegetables as raw materials start as living cells and as such can vary in composition, colour, flavour structure and nutrient content. Thus a key part of describing a process is the preparation of detailed specifications for ingredients and packaging materials to ensure that final product performance and composition specifications can be met with the specified process and equipment. This is only possible if ingredients are preprocessed to the desired specifications. Thus the processing of foods must be separated into two broad areas: preparation of raw fruit and vegetables for further processing to consumer products or ingredients assembly of preprocessed ingredients to finished consumer products. Technological Interventions in Processing of Fruits and Vegetables presents a wide selection of the latest concepts in the fast-changing field of processing of fruits and vegetables (FAV). It provides key information on many new and different techniques used for processing of fruits and vegetables while also exploring the pros and cons of the various methods.
