Why is it important?

Shelf-life of strawberries is very short. Therefore, new preservation methods should be developed to improve storage at ambient temperature. Moreover, new product characterics may result as a consequence of innovative preservation techniques.

Perspectives

Dehydrated fruits offer an interesting alternative to be an ingredient of cereal-based deserts. However, a stable product performance should be achieved. On the other hand, dehydrated berries may be an alternative for exportation without requirement of cooling chain.
