Abstract

Discolouration is a serious problem in fruit and vegetable products. It means the change of colour induced by various factors such as enzymes, metals, organic acids, plant pigments, etc. It results in undesirable and unattractive appearance of the product, thereby reducing its market value and in certain cases, the nutritive value also. The problem of discolouration is complicated due to a multiplicity of unrelated changes taking place simultaneously, and further the coloured end products, which are humin like substances, are difficult to characterise1• Brown and pink discolouration are the two common types of discolouration met with.
