Abstract

Fruits are a main part of human nutrition and play a crucial role in maintaining a well-balanced diet. Most fruits have a short life after harvest, so processing is required to have a year-round supply. Agrochemicals, including alkaline solutions, are widely used as pretreatments to improve the yield and quality of dried fruits. This study identifies the proper compounds and concentration of alkaline solutions for improved quality of dried fruits. In this study, the findings of previously published articles are reviewed. In this review, the effects of alkaline solutions on the drying time and quality of dried fruits are studied. The reviewed researches show that different concentrations of alkaline solutions have significant positive effects on raisins, figs, apples, plums, apricots, blueberries, and olives. The farmers can apply alkaline solutions as pretreatments to get high-quality dried fruits.
