NON-CONVENTIONAL PRESERVATION METHODS FOR HORTICULTURAL PRODUCTS IN FRESH CONDITION
Journal Title: ISB-INMA TEH AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL ENGINEERING - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
Consumed horticultural products in fresh condition may be carriers of optionally pathogenic microorganisms: bacteria, yeast, molds. Due to the post-harvest decomposition process, these microorganisms can cause either loss of preserved horticultural products or disease or food poisoning with direct effects on the health of the human consumer. As a result of these factors, the conservation duration of these products is limited. For the preservation of horticultural products and the extension of the allowed preservation and commercialization period, non-conventional methods have occurred. The paper aims to present two of the most commonly used non-conventional conservation methods: UV radiations and ozone use for decontamination of horticultural products.
