| description | The application of enzymatic peeling technology aided with vacuum infusion has been studied extensively in this study
to ease the peeling process of key lime (Citrus aurantifolia) fruit. Through response surface methodology, the optimum
parameters such as vacuum pressure (450–600 mmHg), pectinase concentration (0.5–1.0%, v/v), duration of soaking time
(15–45 min) and their efects on physicochemical properties of key lime fruit have been determined. The optimal conditions
determined in this study were 600 mmHg of vacuum pressure, 0.93% v/v of pectinase concentration and 45 min of soaking
time. The physicochemical properties analysed such as colour, pH, titratable acidity, total soluble solids, moisture content,
and ascorbic acid content show no signifcant (p>0.05) efect of enzymatic-peeling on quality parameters of key lime fruit
products. The intensity of puree colour was signifcantly (p≤0.05) improved by the vacuum-aided enzymatic treatment.
Overall, vacuum-aided enzymatic treatment is an improved peeling method compared to the conventional method as it simplifes the process, reduces processing time and retains quality parameters of the key lime fruit products. |
