New processing for ready-to-eat lettuce with improved quality in terms of browning and microbial spoilage

This project aims to improve the quality of ready-to-eat lettuce by developing one
new processing method based on a heat-shock treatment as well as an alternative disinfection. Here
the aim is to achieve a longer shelf life in the area of U+200BU+200Bbrown discoloration and at least the same shelf life
on a microbiological level.
