Abstract

Minimally processed carrots are used in salads and as ready-to-eat snacks, but they may have a reduced shelf life if they are of poor quality. A new study investigates quality indices, such as texture, sugar and colour, in order to ascertain the benefits of storing MP carrots under high levels of O2 + CO2 atmospheres. It is shown that the shelf life of sliced carrots treated with a 0.1% citric acid dip and stored at 50% O2 + 30% CO2 is extended by 5 to 7 days. Advantages and disadvantages of the proposed method are discussed.
