Effects of long-term controlled atmosphere storage, minimal processing, and packaging on quality attributes of calçots (Allium cepa L.)
(SAGE PublicationsConsejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC), 2019-10-23)Calçots are the immature floral stems of the second-year onion (Allium cepa L.) resprouts. Modified atmosphere packaging or vacuum packaging are suitable alternatives to preserve fresh-cut vegetables. The objective of this ... -
Microbial interaction between Salmonella enterica and main postharvest fungal pathogens on strawberry fruit
(Elsevier, 2019-12-14)The microbial interaction between Salmonella enterica and the main postharvest fungal pathogens of strawberries was evaluated. Inoculation of fungal suspension was done 2 (D2) and 1 (D1) day(s) before and at the same time ... -
Ultrasound processing alone or in combination with other chemical or physical treatments as a safety and quality preservation strategy of fresh and processed fruits and vegetables: a review
(Springer Nature, 2019-08-12)Ultrasound (US) processing has emerged as a novel food preservation technology. This strategy has proved antimicrobial effects due to cavitation, which is the formation, growth, and collapse of bubbles that generate a ... -
Occurrence of selected viral and bacterial pathogens and microbiological quality of fresh and frozen strawberries sold in Spain
(Elsevier, 2019-10-23)Strawberry production and exports have been increasing in Spain in recent decades. However, little information is available about their microbiological quality. Due to the growing concern about the microbial safety of these ... -
