Comparative shelf-life study in dehydrated plums: use of potassium sorbate and its effect on microbial spoilage

Potassium sorbate is a preservative used to avoid microbial spoilage in dehydrated plums (prunes) during long travel distances and, therefore, improve the shelf life of prunes. In this study, prunes with and without sorbate were stored for 12 months at 4, 16, 20 and 37 °C. The physiological and biochemical indexes were measured and recorded […]
