Minimally Processed Pomegranate Seeds

摘要: Abstract Ready-to-eat pomegranate seeds were prepared and their quality attributes appearance was followed during storage for 7 d under different conditions. Quality attributes, titratable acidity, total soluble solids, L* values, absorbance at 510 nm (anthocyanin content) 446 (brown metabolites) analysed. Respiratory activity, of the (shriveling browning), weight loss also evaluated. The influence washing treatments, temperatures (8, 4 1 °C) actively or passively modified atmosphere packaging on minimally processed studied. Washing with chlorine by ascorbic citric acid selected, °C led to best preservation. overall results obtained washed (100 mg/kg) plus antioxidants (5 g/L 5 acid), sealed in oriented polypropylene film using an initial 20 mL/L O 2 0 CO . Under these conditions, maintained good without fungal attacks off-flavour development.
