So the question is : Can we replace fresh fruits with dried ones ? As everything in life it is choice you have to take. It is a very commom snack among young children, and adults as well. Drying is a very good way to preserve foods and use it for a long period of time . As many processed food, it could lose some of its nutrients . Here is a summary for the steps that are taken for this process:
• Heat or air dryness in a good air circulation.
• Select fresh, fully ripened fruit .
• Dip food in ascorbic acid, citric acid or lemon juice
• Condition to 4 to 10 days before packaging
• Put it in tighten containers.
The history of dried food originates long time ago fresh fruits at that time were not available in all seasons ,so they used these methods so they can find something to eat in the winter seasons. The before using these fruits they used to reconstituted it with water to add the water what was lost during the drying methods. Of course the methods they used to try the fruit were very basic. In these days dried food is being used as a way to avoid eating eating the fresh fruits. As some people try to avoid eating fresh fruits. Can dried fruits replace the fresh fruits or not. We will try to answer this question in different aspects. In this paper we will discuss dried berries , their nutrition values,
approach to fresh foods. Fresh fruits are always healthy more the less fresh fruits with
Thesis: Through compensation to workers and connections with the government the United Fruit Company (UFCO) it became the great force of Latin America.
When one considers fruit, there may be bland thoughts of healthy living, diets and the whole nine yard of the dos and don’ts of organic eating. However, when I think of fruits, I feel they are all endowed with a powerful medicinal by-product that is naturally stored within them. Hence my product choice for export. To the Chief operating officer of Investors Inc., I present to you my platform. In the Caribbean, many feel that all fruits are grown on each island in the exact same abundance; this is indeed a myth. Each Caribbean island has its unique crops that are harvested in its soil and grows based on weather conditions. In the Bahamas, the soil is excellent for the growth and harvest of year-round coconuts. Therefore, I plan to use the coconut
When firstly experienced a mango, I was surprised at the terrific flavor as well as its big size of seed. As the world is globalized on account of development of technology and transportation, even though mango is one of fruits from tropical countries, it is easily introduced to people’s table.
Jeanette Winterson uses hard work and the editing process to make her book, Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit, the success that it is. Thus, that it is the aforementioned aspects of the writing process that are the most integral, overshadowing even the inspiration process. A book written primarily using inspiration would be a failure if there was not hard work involved.
Vacuum packing reduces atmospheric oxygen, limiting the growth of aerobic bacteria or fungi, and preventing the evaporation of volatile components. It is also commonly used to store dry foods over a long period of time, such as cereals, nuts, cured meats, cheese, smoked fish, coffee, and potato chips (crisps).
“Effect of Cultural and Chemical Treatments on Fruit Set, Yield and Quality of Custard Apple”,
Bananas are ready to serve as a kind of fruit. They can be processed as well. For example, cooked bananas are made into powders and then used as additives in cakes and bread. Or after fermented, people can extract alcohol from them or produce banana wine. Mature bananas are also processed into preserved fruit, juice or essence. Furthermore, the
However, because of the need to utilize surpluses and imperfect fruits, it has been of interest to process the fruit for extended shelf life time and marketability. Unfortunately, avocado is very sensitive to heating or freezing. The fruit develop off flavours (Bates, 1970) and discoloration (Golan et al., 1977) even after the minimal thermal treatment needed to destroy spoilage microorganisms and deactivate enzymes (Cruess et al., 1951; Brown, 1972; Gracia et al., 1976). Compounds involved in off flavour and bitterness vary in polarity between neutral lipids to phospholipids (Bates, 1970) and include 1-acetoxy-2, 4-dihydroxy-n-heptadeca-16-ene and 1, 2, 4- trihydroxy-n-heptadeca-16-ene (Ben-Et et al., 1973). Likewise freezing is detrimental to texture and flavor of whole avocado. Although rapid freezing of avocado slices by liquid Freon (Smith and Winter,1970) or liquid nitrogen with proper treatment with ascorbic and malic acids (Hanson, 1976) were claimed to produce an acceptable product, these producers still wait for large scale implementation. In practice, since the available mechanical equipment separates mashed pulp from the peel after manual removal of the seed, only mashed avocado can serve as a raw material for processing. Indeed, a frozen puree known as guacamole salad is the only avocado product of commercial relevance. This product can be stored for weeks frozen at -18°c (Hester and Stephens, 1970; Salomon et
The authors said that there is a need to identify and address the barriers to consumption of fruits and vegetables. According to past research, the high cost, limited availability and access, and lack of cooking/preparation time can be barriers to fruit and veggie consumption.
When they are just ripe it should be used fresh because under ripe fruit may be difficult to digest because of excess fruits acids and over ripe fruits may contain bacteria which will also upset the digestion.
During the last decay the consumption of fresh leafy vegetables is increasing sharply as a habit to eat healthy and nutritious food. Short of cooling fruits and vegetables after harvest is the main reason that leads to postharvest losses. In developing countries the percentage of postharvest losses of fruits and vegetables may be increasing to hit up 80-100% in some situations. In contrast the process in developed countries is different, because the high demands for commodities. The best quality of these goods needs for transportation from farm to the storage and consumer during that these fruits and vegetables will lose weight that lead to reduce the quality. In order to reduce the weight loss for the commodity and maintains
The results showed that the mango was the highest amounted in protein, crude fiber, ash content and total carbohydrates (0.82, 0.72, 0.51 and 9.61 g/100g fresh weight) followed by strawberry (0.50, 0.35, 0.27 and 8.95 g/100g fresh weight) and also, grapefruit was 0.40, 0.25, 0.19 and 8.76 g/100g
Fruit volume, Physiological weight in loss of Kesar ' mango gradually increase till the end of shelf-life and exhibited inversely proportional relationship with specific gravity of fruit while the maximum physiological loss in weight in immature fruits with sp.gr. less than 1.00 as compared sp.gr. more than l.00. Whereas, maximum organoleptic evaluation reported in sp.gr. more than 1.02. Dip treatment of harvested fruits in bavistin 500 ppm for 5 min. had been found to be useful for enhancing the flavour and consumer acceptability. Beneficial effect on minimizing physiological weight loss, maximum fruit volume and firmness in wax coating (6%) followed by bavistin 500 ppm for 5 min. Delay in PLW, maximum fruit volume and firmness with lower organoleptic score were registered at 150C of storage temperature with 85% RH.
To extend the life of crop cold, stores reduces the level of oxygen in the atmosphere. It slows down spoiling of F
