- Introduction
- Applications
The market for fresh-cut fruits and vegetables has grown rapidly in recent decades as a result of their freshness, convenience, and human health benefits. However, fresh fruits and vegetables deteriorate very rapidly after processing, especially cut-surface browning resulting from wound-induced physiological and biochemical changes. The application of anti-browning agents is one of the most effective methods for controlling the enzymatic browning reaction in fresh-cut fruits and vegetables.
Antibraun™ FV is naturally occurring ascorbic acid and citric acid extracted from lemon and citrus, specially designed to prevent browning and discoloration in fresh-cut fruits.
