Mechanical and biochemical response of kiwifruit tissue to steam blanching

Steam blanching effect on kiwifruit halves was assessed, tending to optimize this process. Mechanical behavior was evaluated as a function of heating time and tissue temperature through force-deformation and relaxation curves. Histological changes were determined by transmission electron microscopy...
