Minimally Processed Refrigerated Fruits and Vegetables

Abstract

The modernization and urbanization occurred during the last century were coupled with modifications in lifestyle and dietary habits. At the same time, industrial developments made it easier to meet the requirements for processed foods. Nevertheless, consumers are now interested in minimally processed foods owing to increase in their consciousness to have fruits and vegetables with superior quality and natural integrity with no additives. Processing in foods causes biochemical changes, high respiration rate, and high ethylene production. These factors contribute to discoloration, loss of firmness, development of off-flavors, acidification, and microbial spoilage. At the same time, food processors are using emerging approaches to process perishable commodities, along with enhanced nutritional and sensorial quality. The present review article is an effort to classify the minimally processed fruits, vegetables, and juices and simultaneously give us details about the manufacturing beverages (juices, smoothies, shakes, etc.).
