The application of high-voltage pulsed electric field, ultrasound, and fermentation in the processing, resource utilization, and product development of tropical fruits: A review

Abstract

The high-value development of tropical fruits and the comprehensive utilization of their processing by-products are key to enhancing the development of the fruit industry. This review took non-thermal technology (high-voltage pulsed electric fields, ultrasound and fermentation technology) as the core link to systematically explore its application in tropical fruits such as pineapple, lychee, banana, orange and their processing by-products, with a focus on clarifying the logical connections between non-thermal technology, tropical fruits, processing by-products, nutritional activity and product development. It elaborated on the mechanisms and application effects of these three non-thermal technologies in efficiently extracting nutrients such as polyphenols, polysaccharides and flavor compou
