主 题:Potatoes flesh cut CO_2 ascorbic acid browning.
摘 要:Effects of short-term high CO_2 pretreatment on quality of fresh-cut potatoes were studied. Potatoes were treated under 90% CO_2 for 18 h, peeled, cut, dipped in 1% ascorbic acid or distilled water for 3 min, packed in polyethylene bags and stored for 12 d at 4 ℃. Non-treated potatoes were used as the control. High CO2 pretreatments ensured maintenance of a high level of CO_2 in headspace of packages containing fresh-cut potatoes. Both the growth of total aerobic bacteria in initial stages of post-cut storage and browning index of the cut surface were lower in high CO_2 treated cut potato. Anti-browning effect of high CO_2 pretreatment was decreased when applied in combination with ascorbic acid. Soluble solids, pH, titratable acidity and flesh firmness of fresh-cut potatoes were not affected by high CO_2 treatment. Therefore, high CO_2 treatment before slicing could be effective method to maintain quality of flesh-cut potatoes.
