“…Dalmadi et al (2006) reported biphasic thermal inactivation kinetic model for Elsanta strawberry, where labile and stable fraction were registered when the PPO extract was processed at 50-65°C. While being efficient for enzyme inactivation, the heat employed in thermal processing affects the fruit flavor (Silva et al, 2000) and can degrade some nutrients in fruits such as vitamin C and other antioxidants (Castro et al, 2008;Volden et al, 2008). The addition of anti-browning agents such as ascorbic acid, sulfites, sodium chlorite, cysteine, kojic acid and cinnamic acid have also been alternatives to control browning in food (Queiroz et al, 2008).…”
