Modern high technology solutions for quality and longterm vegetable preservation
Keywords:
lyophilization, gamma sterilization, long-term preservation, vegetablesAbstract
In the publication the authors present the results of the applying of two modern technologies for long term and safe vegetable preservation – freeze-drying and gamma sterilization. The freeze-dried vegetables feature minimum moisture – from 2 – 5% and taste-aroma complex preserved to the highest degree. The carried out gamma sterilization ensures a high microbial purity of the vegetables and guarantees for their long term preservation (up to 5 years) in polymer packing, under usual conditions.
