Effect of High Hydrostatic Pressure Processing on Microbiological Shelf-Life and Quality of Fruits Pretreated with Ascorbic Acid or SnCl2
Table 1
Evolution of microbiological counts ( CFU/g), firmness, values, and sensory evaluation in HHP-treated at 600 MPa for 5 min at 10°C and untreated (control case) apricot pieces in sucrose solution with or without SnCl2 during storage (5°C). Each data point is an average ± standard deviation from three individual batches.
