In recent years, fruits and vegetables have received considerable attention because they are rich in nutrients such as vitamins, carotenoids, ascorbic acid, minerals and dietary fiber. However, they are climacteric and have a short shelf life after harvest. Fresh fruits and vegetables undergo uncontrolled browning, wilting and loss of nutritional value even at ambient temperature and relative humidity. In order to extend the shelf life of fruits and vegetables, the production of their powders is a promising method. Fruit and vegetable powder can effectively maintain the stability and function of the ingredients until they are utilized.
Advantages of Fruit and Vegetable Powder
One of the advantages of fruit and vegetable powder is that it is easy to carry. In our fast-paced life, it is not easy to find time to prepare and consume a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables every day, and powder provides a practical solution. Secondly, fruit and vegetable powder has many economic advantages over its precursors, such as reduced volume/weight, reduced packaging, and easier storage and transportation. In addition, a significant reduction in water content and water activity also helps to extend the shelf life of fruit and vegetable powder.
