Abstract

Fruits and vegetables must be harvested at the proper stage, size and at the peak quality. Although quality couldn’t be improved after harvest but careful harvesting, proper packaging, storage and transport gives better quality produce. Depending on the severity of the treatment both micro and macro nutrients are lost up to significant amount during processing of fruits and vegetables. Among others vitamins are mostly affected during thermal processing of fruits and vegetables. Vitamins are low-molecular-weight organic compounds that are indispensable in very small amounts in the diet. Vitamins play various specific and individual functions to promote growth or reproduction, or to maintain health and life. Generally leafy vegetables are good sources of most vitamins. The vitamin content of fruits and vegetables depends upon variety, growing conditions and several other factors.
