The effect of vacuum packaging on the microbial spoilage and shelf‐life of ‚ready‐to‐use’︁ sliced carrots

Abstract: The effect of vacuum packaging on the microbial spoilage of 'ready-to-use' carrot slices and on the effect on shelf-life of the product is reported. The microbial development on vacuum packaged carrots was slower than that of non-vacuum packaged material. The predominant organisms present were Leuconostoc spp. in the vacuum packs as opposed to Erwinia spp. in the aerobic packs. Vacuum packaging of the sliced carrots significantly extended the shelf-life of the product when stored at 4°C from 5 to 8 days.

“…Nos experimentos, as cabeças de repolho submetidas à sanitização não passaram pelo processo de enxágüe, conforme fluxograma seguido por outros experimentos de processamento mínimo [5,8,17,18]. Embora o enxágüe seja uma etapa freqüentemente adotada após a sanitização de produtos minimamente processados [3,7,9,19], os dados disponíveis na literatura sobre a necessidade dessa etapa não são conclusivos.…”

“…The physiological response is formation of lignin (Bolin and Huxsoll, 1991;Howard and Griffin, 1993), an irreversible component of color change (CisnerosZevallos et al, 1995). Susceptibility to surface white discoloration formation is influenced by temperature (Buick and Damoglou, 1987), relative humidity (Avena et al, 1993a), surface moisture , degree of abrasion (Bolin and Huxsoll, 1991) and type of cutting tool (Tatsumi et al, 1991;Bolin and Huxsoll, 1991).…”

“…Suberized cell walls of the carrot periderm function as a primary barrier to mass transfer, and waxes of the suberin complex appear to cause the greatest impedance to water vapor diftision (Soliday et al, 1979 ture loss from the carrot. Susceptibility to resulting white blush formation was reported to be influenced by temperature (Buick and Damoglou, 1987), relative humidity (Avena et al, 1993a), degree of peeling (Bolin and Huxsoll, 1991), and type of cutting surface (Tatsumi et al, 1991(Tatsumi et al, , 1993Bolin and Huxsoll, 1991).…”
