Minimally processed vegetables are highly perishable because of exposed internal tissues, lack of skin or cuticle for protection and elevated metabolism, so that the deterioration is faster than in intact ones (Francis et al., 2012). Meanwhile, there are some concerns surrounding efficacy of the commonly used sanitizing methods. Chemical agents do not provide an efficient microbial reduction, besides being perceived negatively by the consumers, dangerous for human health and harmful to the environment (Ramos, Miller, Brandão, Teixeira, & Silva, 2013). In turn, the conventional thermal treatments may negatively affect several quality parameters of these perishable foods (Pinela & Ferreira, 2015). For this reasons, innovative and more sustainable postharvest treatments based on non-thermal physical technologies are being investigated.
