Summary

The effect of calcium chloride on the quality of minimally processed pineapple was evaluated. Fruits were washed, cleaned, sliced and immersed in calcium chloride solution and packed in polypropylene at 4 °C for 16 days. The variables soluble solids, loss of weight, texture and pH were influenced by the concentration of calcium chloride. Storage time had an effect on total titratable acids, soluble solids, total reducing sugars, loss of weight, texture and pH.
