ABSTRACT:
A composition for reducing deterioration and extending the shelf life of fruits and vegetables, particularly fruits and vegetables used in salad bars and prepared salads sold in fast-food restaurants, comprising ascorbic acid and a thixotropic gum such as xanthan. Optionally, other ingredients such as an edible bulk filler and artificial or natural flavorings and/or aromas colorings may also be added. The composition applied to the salad ingredients to extend shelf life is advantageous in that a salad preserving agent is provided which is well retained by the salad ingredients so as to maintain freshness of the salad for long periods of time, and the extended shelf life provided is accomplished without sulfites and without adding any objectionable gummy mouthfeel to the product.
