Fruit and Vegetable Processing – Overview

Processing prevents spontaneous physiological degradation and microbiological spoilage of the fruits and vegetables. The methods often involve blanching, dehydrating, freezing, fermenting, pickling, and irradiating. The most significant advantage of using advanced fruit and vegetable processing technologies is that they extend the shelf life of produce. The majority of these procedures rely on heat, as well as factors that determine how sensitive to heat fruits and vegetables are. Processed fruits and vegetables allow customers to balance convenience and nutrition, and because of their higher price points, supermarket stores value their products.

Rising Investment in Efficient Cold Storage

A cold storage room is a crucial component of the fruit and vegetable processing process since it prolongs the produce's shelf life and shields it from germs and degradation.

For instance, Maersk, a shipping and logistics company based in Denmark, has signed a contract with Rafed Real Estate to open a new cold storage facility at King Abdulaziz Port in Dammam, Saudi Arabia.

Challenges

Numerous elements, including temperature, the environment in which they are placed, light, processing operations, and microbial infection, can cause stress to the products, causing them to break down or become damaged. Furthermore, stringent government regulations for the efficient and safe transport and processing of fruits and vegetables may also cause losses to the processers if the buyers reject them.
