Abstract

Storage life of pineapple, mango and papaya fruit chunks preserved by hurdle technology was studied using the hurdles of pH, mild heat treatment preservatives and packaging. Pineapple and mango fruit chunks, blanched in syrup at 85C for 5 min, dipped in syrup containing 340 mg of potassium metabisulphite/kg and 413 mg sodium benzoate/kg for 8 h and packed in 150 gauge polypropylene pouches showed acceptable sensory and microbiological quality up to a period of 30 days at 27C and 60 days at 2C and had SO2 content of 65-85 mg/kg and benzoic acid 150-200 mg/kg. Papaya chunks treated with increasing levels of preservatives up to 680 mg potassium metabisulphite/kg and 826 mg sodium benzoate/kg exhibited good storage stability for up to 90 days at 2C and ambient temp.
