摘要:It is studied a sequence of combined methods to assess their influences on the shelf-life of melon minimally processed. After blanching followed by osmotic treatment in different concentrations of SO2, sorbic acid, calcium chloride and citric acid to pH 3.0, samples were packed in poliethylene bags and heat-treated in water (100 °C) for 1 minute. During storage, samples were analyzed concerning microbiological and physical-chemical characteristics according to the ICMSF and the AOAC recommendations. Althought the results revealed that the used technology allowed a 120-day storage period for melon, the high depletion of vitamin C levels denotes a need of optimization in the process.
