Progress Report Objectives (from AD-416) To conduct research and develop processing technologies to develop novel, healthful, fruit-based edible film and coating systems for frozen food applications. Approach (from AD-416) A wide range of apple and strawberry-based film and coating formulations will be tested for their potential as dry-to-touch wraps and moisture barriers in frozen food systems. Novel processing technologies will be explored to efficiently apply these to foods. Final product shelf-life will be tested. Processes will be scaled up to commercial levels. Documents CRADA. Log 31346. New technologies are needed to increase utilization and consumption of fruits. Researchers in the Processed Foods Research Unit, Albany, CA, developed novel fruit-based edible films for incorporation into frozen food systems. Prototypes were developed and optimized. In addition, processing parameters were determined and sensory evaluations completed. This research supports the goals of NP 306 and the parent project to add value to fruits and vegetables and increase their consumption.
