Strategies for Microbial Decontamination of Fresh Blueberries and Derived Products.

摘要: Increasing consumption of blueberries is associated with appreciation their organoleptic properties together multiple health benefits. The increasing number outbreaks caused by pathogenic microorganisms in the fresh state and rapid spoilage this product which mainly moulds, has led to development evaluation alternatives that help mitigate problem. This article presents different strategies ranging from chemical, physical biological technologies combined methods applied for microbial decontamination derived products. Sanitizers such as peracetic acid (PAA), ozone (O3), electrolyzed water (EOW), pulsed light (PL) cold plasma (CP) are potential use traditional chlorine. Likewise, high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) or electrical fields (PEF) successfully achieve reductions derivative A combination at moderate intensities levels a promising strategy increase minimal impact on quality.
