Quality and shelf life of minimally-processed litchi fruit
Quality and shelf life of sanitized peeled litchi arils of three cultivars, 'Honghuay', 'Gimjeng' and 'Jugkapat', were studied. The peeled and deseeded litchi arils were sanitized with 50 mg/L of peroxyacetic acid (PAA) solutions for 1 min. Subsequently, they were drain...
