Further,
the skin was removed manually along with the core. The puree was
made by blending the cut pieces of pineapple in a house-hold fruit
juicer at 6000 rpm for 5 min. The uniformity was maintained by homogenizing
at 6000 rpm for 4 min at 4 °C with the help of a disperser
(R01-127, Remi Lab-Technique, India). The samples were packed in
LDPE (80 μm) pouches containing 20 mL each and kept at −35 °C
until the HPP treatment.
