Study Notes
Processed Fruits and Vegetables in Modern Diets
- Processed fruits and vegetables play a role in modern diets.
- Nutritional quality is analyzed, specifically the impact of processing on key nutrients and antioxidants.
Processed Tomato Products
- Tomato processing is a significant area of study.
- Research explores the nutritional aspects of processed tomato products.
Nutritional Quality of Processed Tomatoes
- The study investigates the nutritional components of processed tomatoes.
- Key components are analyzed, from macronutrients to micronutrients.
Macrocomponents
- Macronutrient composition of processed tomatoes is evaluated.
Microcomponents of Nutritional Interest: Minerals
- Nutritional minerals in processed tomatoes are examined.
Microcomponents: Antioxidants and Vitamins
- Antioxidants and vitamins are considered within processed tomatoes.
Microcomponents: Lycopene and Other Carotenoids
- Lycopene and other carotenoids in processed tomatoes are explored.
Behavior of Nutrients During Processing: Vitamins
- The impact of processing on vitamins is evaluated.
Behavior of Nutrients During Processing: Lycopene
- The effect of processing on lycopene content is analyzed.
Bioavailability of Lycopene
- The study of how readily the body absorbs and utilizes lycopene from processed tomatoes is discussed.
Fruit and Vegetable Production: Modelling
- Mathematical modeling techniques are increasingly used to understand and manage fruit and vegetable production.
- Tomatoes are used as a case study.
- Models help predict yields and optimize crop production methods.
- Benefits include efficient resource utilization and enhanced sensory and nutritional quality.
- Models consider interactions with pests, diseases, climate control, irrigation, fertilisation and plant protection.
HACCP in Fruit and Vegetable Production and Post-harvest Treatment
- The Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) system is applied to improve fresh produce safety.
- This system is used to prevent contamination during cultivation.
- HACCP manages pathogens and contaminants like pesticides.
Quality Criteria in Freshly Harvested Produce
- Criteria for assessing the quality of freshly harvested produce
- Assessment techniques for quality deterioration are established, and storage and packaging methods for preservation are detailed.
- Quality is measured at each step in the supply chain.
Advanced Instrumental Techniques for Quality Measurement
- Advanced instrumental methods for quality assessment and defect identification are described.
- Methods focus on rapid, non-destructive on-line instrumentation for quality control.
Thermal Processing of Fruits and Vegetables
- Better understanding and control of thermal processing methods for fruits and vegetables.
- Ensuring food safety is crucial.
- Cooked chilled foods with vegetables are considered.
Improving Quality During Cultivation and Post-Harvesting
- Strategies to enhance natural fruit resistance and plant shelf-life are presented.
- This involves techniques used for pre and post-harvest periods.
- This area incorporates genetic modification techniques to extend shelf-life.
Postharvest Quality Maintenance Techniques
- Techniques for maintaining the quality of fresh produce after harvest.
- Methods for extending shelf-life are considered.
Minimal Processing Methods
- Minimal processing methods for fruits and vegetables are analyzed.
Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) and Edible Coatings
- Modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) technologies are explored.
- Edible coating advancements are included.
High Pressure Processing and Vacuum Technology
- High pressure processing and vacuum technologies in fruit and vegetable processing.
Health Benefits of Increased Fruit and Vegetable Consumption
- Evidence demonstrates the benefits of a diet rich in fruits and vegetables.
- Diet impact of reduced risk of chronic diseases (i.e. cancers, CVD, strokes, diabetes).
- Chronic diseases such as osteoporosis, digestive disorders, cataracts, macular degeneration and dementia are also considered related to diet.
- Microconstituents in fruits and vegetables potentially contribute to beneficial properties.
- Bioaccessibility and bioavailability of microcomponents are important.
- Efforts to increase fruit and vegetable intake and future research directions.
Antioxidants from Fruits and Berries
- Fruits and berries are rich in antioxidants (carotenoids, ascorbic acid, tocopherols, flavonoids and phenolic acids).
- Phenolics are linked to fresh and processed produce sensory attributes.
- Carotenoids give color (yellow to orange/red).
- Anthocyanins contribute colors (red, purple, blue).
- Phenolics are involved in flavor/taste sensation.
- Phenolic compounds can oxidize during food processing or bruising; undesirable changes.
- Antioxidant functions of flavonoids and other phenolic compounds are receiving increased attention.
