Does the fruit and vegetable sterilization and cleaning machine affect the texture or taste of fruits and vegetables?

While the fruit and vegetable sterilization and cleaning machine ensures the safety and hygiene of fruits and vegetables, it may have a certain impact on the texture and taste of fruits and vegetables. This impact mainly depends on the design features of the cleaning machine, the technology used in the cleaning process and the characteristics of the fruits and vegetables themselves. The following will discuss the possible impact that fruit and vegetable sterilization and cleaning machines may have on the texture and taste of fruits and vegetables.

Effect of physical cleaning on texture: The physical cleaning process of a washing machine usually includes water flow and mechanical vibration, which may have a certain impact on the texture of fruits and vegetables. If the water flow rate during the cleaning process is too high or the mechanical vibration is too strong, it may cause minor damage to the surface of the fruits and vegetables, thereby affecting the texture of the fruits and vegetables. However, most washing machines will adjust the water flow and vibration to reduce the impact on the texture of fruits and vegetables.

Effect of cleaning agents: Some fruit and vegetable washing machines may use cleaning agents to enhance the cleaning effect. The composition and concentration of cleaning agents are different, which may have a certain impact on the taste of fruits and vegetables. For example, if cleaning agent remains on the surface of fruits and vegetables, it may cause odor or taste changes to the fruits and vegetables. Therefore, when using cleaning agents, the cleaning machine needs to control the type and amount of cleaning agents to reduce the impact on the taste of fruits and vegetables.

The impact of sterilization technology on taste: Some fruit and vegetable cleaning machines may use technologies such as ultraviolet disinfection or ozone disinfection to kill microorganisms on the surface of fruits and vegetables. These sterilization techniques usually do not directly affect the texture of fruits and vegetables, but they may have a slight impact on the taste of fruits and vegetables. For example, ultraviolet disinfection may slightly increase the degree of oxidation on the surface of fruits and vegetables, and ozone disinfection may leave some odor on the surface of fruits and vegetables. However, this effect is usually subtle and does not significantly change the taste of fruits and vegetables.

The effect of water temperature on the texture of fruits and vegetables: The water temperature is usually controlled during the cleaning process of the washing machine to improve the cleaning effect. Appropriate water temperature can help dissolve dirt and kill microorganisms, but water temperature that is too high or too low may have an impact on the texture of fruits and vegetables. Too high a water temperature may cause the surface of fruits and vegetables to soften, affecting the taste, while too low a water temperature may slow down the cleaning effect, causing dirt and microorganisms to remain on the surface of fruits and vegetables.
