AbstractFruits and vegetables undergo handling, storage and processing before consumption.
These practices result in a quality loss, thus the consumer prefers the product as fresh, rather than after processing and storage. As a consequence, mild technologies
such as minimal processing have been gaining increasing interest of the consumers. Minimal processing involves peeling and cutting of the product before packaging and cold storage. Mechanical damage caused by cutting triggers a series of linked events, resulting in higher quality loss {colour, firmness and sensory parameters), than the product in the fresh state. Reducing undesirable effects of cutting
is the main goal to achieve. A well-balanced management of cut related factors helps prolonging the shelf-life of minimally processed fruits.
