Abstract

A method of combined processing using carbon dioxide and ultrasound to improve flash-freezing efficiency and quality of fruit and vegetables belongs to a technical scope of freezing processing in the technical field of processing of fruit and vegetables. In the 5 present invention, fresh fruit and vegetables are used as a main material, and operations are performed in the following order: cleaning, slicing, enzyme cleaning, draining, processing using pressurized carbon dioxide, and ultrasound-assisted freezing of the fruit and vegetable material. In the method of the present invention, a combined effect of carbon dioxide and ultrasound on a fruit and vegetable material is used, so that a freezing time of 10 the fruit and vegetable material is reduced to the greatest extent, thereby reducing the sizes of ice crystals inside the fruit and vegetable material. After a frozen product obtained by using this method is unfrozen, the texture and original form of the product is kept to the greatest extent, and a loss ratio of juice and a loss of nutrients of the product are also reduced. Compared with normal flash freezing, for fruit and vegetables in combined 15 processing using carbon dioxide and ultrasound, a freezing time is shortened by 15% to 18%, a loss ratio of juice is reduced by 11% to 15%, and hardness is also correspondingly increased by 13% to 15%.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention is a method for improving the quick-freezing efficiency and quality of fruits and vegetables through the combined treatment of carbon dioxide and ultrasonic waves, which belongs to the technical category of freezing processing in the technical field of fruit and vegetable processing. Background technique [0002] my country is rich in fruit and vegetable resources and is the world's largest producer and exporter of fruits and vegetables. Fresh fruits and vegetables are rich in nutrients and occupy an extremely important position in people's diet. However, fruits and vegetables undergo a series of biochemical reactions in their system after harvest. When fresh fruits and vegetables are stored at room temperature, they are very susceptible to microbial infections and cause rot and deterioration, resulting in a large amount of loss of nutrients, color, aroma and flavor. The quality dropped sharply. Therefore, it has important practical ...
