Abstract
Experiments were conducted to find out the suitable pre-treatment and package for extending shelf of the minimally processed carrot with microbiological safety. Of the pre-treatments used, 1 % citric acid , 1 % ascorbic acid and combination of 5 % citric acid and 0.5 % ascorbic acid , 1 % citric acid showed the minimum level of coliform counts at 7 days of storage. Size of 0 package affected the growth of coliform during storage at 7±2 Chaving a minimum counts in 15 2 x15 cm , 100 gauge , low density polyethylene (LDPE) bags. Percentage weight loss, browning ,whitening ,softening and visual quality rating of minimally processed carrot do not significantly affected by the pre-treatments and size of the package used. Although 1 % citric acid increased the total plate counts of minimally processed carrot, coliform counts were maintained at minimum level for 7 days.
