Quality Assurance in Tropical Fruit Processing

The processing of fruits and their juices is an important international branch of the food industry. Many fruit processing plants are situated in the tropics or subtropics or they process fruits or fruit products from these areas. Tropical and subtropical climates provide ideal conditions for the rapid growth of microorganisms and for chemical reactions. Most of these reactions are detrimental to the overall quality of fruits and fruit products. This manual presents both the classical laboratory methods of chemical, physical, microbiological and organoleptical methods of analysis and the modern, sophisticated but rapid procedures of testing and analysing. Special attention is given to economical, rapid methods which are readily available and easy to use in tropical climates.
