Abstract

See full text

A method for improving the desirable aesthetic appearance and quality of fruit and vegetable produce, which has been cut or peeled to expose an interior surface having cell wall fragments, that would otherwise be diminished due to the presence of cell wall fragments, is provided by treating the cut or peeled produce in an enzyme solution. The enzyme treatment selectively removes substantially all cell wall fragments from the interior surface of the produce. The enzyme treatment also substantially extends the shelf-purchase life of the produce.
