and Technology
SpringerBriefs present concise summaries of cutting-edge research and practical
applications across a wide spectrum of fields. Featuring compact volumes of
50–125 pages, the series covers a range of content from professional to academic.
Typical publications can be:
(cid:129) A timely report of state-of-the art methods
(cid:129) Anintroductiontooramanualfortheapplicationofmathematicalorcomputer
techniques
(cid:129) A bridge between new research results, as published in journal articles
(cid:129) A snapshot of a hot or emerging topic
(cid:129) An in-depth case study
(cid:129) Apresentation ofcore conceptsthatstudents mustunderstand inordertomake
independent contributions
SpringerBriefs are characterized by fast, global electronic dissemination,
standard publishing contracts, standardized manuscript preparation and formatting
guidelines, and expedited production schedules.
On the one hand, SpringerBriefs in Applied Sciences and Technology are
devoted to the publication of fundamentals and applications within the different
classical engineering disciplines as well as in interdisciplinary fields that recently
emerged between these areas. On the other hand, as the boundary separating
fundamental research and applied technology is more and more dissolving, this
series isparticularlyopentotrans-disciplinary topics between fundamentalscience
and engineering.

Preface
Exotic fruits are usually defined as fruits of distinctive sensory characteristics and
limited market share, which makes industrial processing a suitable way to expand
their commercialization. Industrial processing extends the exotic fruits’ shelf-life,
which is originally of a few days, to several days or months, thus allowing com-
mercetootherregions.Inthisbook,examplesofattemptstoextendtheshelf-lifeof
exoticfruitsbymeansofdevelopingbeverages,jams,marmalades,driedfruits,ice
creams,andotherproductsareprovided,alongwiththeimpactofprocessingonthe
fruit’s nutritional features and the processing conditions used for achieving the
product shelf-stability. In this sense, Chap. 1 brings an introduction containing
conceptual aspects, previous reviews on related themes, and some information on
the chemical characterization of exotic fruits. Chapter 2 is devoted to exotic fruit
beverages, which was the theme with the highest number of studies in a search in
scientific databases. Chapter 3 deals with exotic fruit jams and pulps, the former
being an interesting option for developing countries since they do not need
refrigeration and the latter being useful as ingredients of a wide range of products.
Finally,Chap. 4 addressesother relevantproducts,viz. structuredexoticfruitsand
dried exotic fruits, which received specific sections due to the high number of
reports on these themes, along with ice creams, marmalades, minimally processed
exotic fruits, and so on, thus covering all relevant exotic fruit products. Given the
wide diversity of the Brazilian biome, many studies were collected from indexed
scientific Brazilian journals, thus allowing the reader to be aware of the many
unique exotic fruits native to here, which I believe to be a strength of the
manuscript.

Exotic fruits, in the context of this book, will be defined as fruits that commonly

The shelf-life of exotic fruits is very short of about a few days; therefore, it
is interesting to use processing techniques to increase their shelf-life for allowing
their consumption during the whole year and in other regions. Additionally, when
