SENSORY AND MICROBIOLOGICAL CHANGES IN MINIMALLY PROCESSED CACTUS PEAR (Opuntia ficus indica)

C. Sáenz, H. Berger, L. Galletti, F. Coronado
As the presence of spines makes cactus pears difficult to peel, minimal processing could be an important way to increase the acceptability of this fruit. The objective of this study was to determine the changes in gas composition as well as the sensory and microbiological characteristics during the storage of minimally processed cactus pear.
