The effect of freezing on the composition and the sensory quality of kiwifruit slices.

Author(s) : PAPADOPOULOU P., MANOLOPOULOU H.

Summary

The compositional and sensory changes that occur in kiwifruit cvs during prolonged cold storage were studied in a three year period (1997, 1988 and 1990). Fruit were peeled in a boiling Iye solution, washed, sliced, processed in a solution of saccharose, ascorbic acid and malic acid to inhibit enzymatic changes, frozen at -40°C by the individual-quick freezing technique, packed in polyethylene bags and finally stored at -18°C for 9-11 months. At regular time intervals fruits were assessed in the quality parameters of soluble solids, titratable acidity, vitamin C and sugars and on the sensory attributes of taste, texture and colour by a laboratory panel using the preference test.
