Abstract

Living
in big cities tend to ready to eat food consumption, because of the reasons
such as long working hours, increasing number of women in economic life, rising
income level, decreasing time for cooking and consumption habits. However,
increasing cancer cases are causing people to turn to untreated food, ready to eat
food.

            This review was conducted in order to examine the changes
that occurred during the processing of minimally processed food and briefly
provide information on alternative methods

Keywords

Chitosan, propolis, edible coatings, cottonseed, carboxymethyl cellulose
