2. 1. Physiological and biochemical aspects of vegetable processing. A case study on carrots

   Author : Federico Gómez Galindo; Livsmedelsteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Food and drink technology; Livsmedelsteknik; mild blanching; antifreeze proteins; cell wall; cold acclimation; carrots; metabolism;

   Abstract : The aim of the present study was to enhance our understanding of vegetables as living organisms, interacting dynamically with the environment, and to explore the possible influence of metabolic changes on subsequent processing operations. Growing conditions, harvesting and handling in the packing house and storage conditions are key events leading to a defined “physiological status” of the vegetable that is going to be consumed as a fresh product or a processed product.
