Packaging effect on the quality of refrigerated apple cubes in system containing orange juice, organic acids and preservatives.

Author(s) : ZARITZKY N. E., ANDRÉS S. C., GIANNUZZI L.

Summary

The objective of the work was to analyze changes in surface colour, instrumental texture and microbial growth (moulds and yeasts) in apple cubes immersed in fresh unpasteurized orange juice with the addition of preservatives (potassium sorbate and sodium benzoate, 125-500 ppm in the product) during refrigerated storage at 10 °C in packaging plastic films with different gaseous permeabilities. Coliforms and sulfite reducing bacteria were also tested. Results showed that for both apple varieties, the use of low gaseous permeability films and the simultaneous application of potassium sorbate improved refrigerated storage life.
