Abstract
The effects of high-pressure technology on naturally present microbial flora, texture, color, ascorbic acid content and peroxidase
activity of whole green beans were evaluated and compared to conventional preservation techniques. High-pressure processing
(HPP) and two-pulse pressure treatment (pHPP) for achieving, respectively, pasteurization and sterilization on the product quality
of intact green beans were under investigation. After 1-month storage there was no significant outgrowth of microorganisms for
both HPP and pHPP. Both HPP and pHPP treatment showed a large retention of firmness and ascorbic acid for green beans
compared to conventional preservation methods. pHPP resulted in marked changes in......
