Abstract
To investigate the effects of a slightly acidic electrolyzed water (SAEW) treatment on the quality of fresh-cut apples during storage, this research used a Box-Behnken design to determine the optimal SAEW treatment conditions. Then, the fresh-cut apple was treated under the optimal condition and subjected to a 13-d storage experiment at 4 °C. For fresh-cut apple treated under the optimal SAEW treatment conditions, the total number of surface colonies was reduced by 2.82 logarithms compared to the control group and the sensory score was 8.73. For the treated fresh-cut apple during storage, the quality of the treated group was significantly greater than the non-treatment group. Thus, the SAEW treatment not only effectively controlled the number of microbes on fresh-cut apple, but also slowed quality deterioration during storage.
