After vacuum impregnation:109 CFU/gof tissue. The matrix consisted of cylindrical pieces of Granny Smith apples. The author applied one vacuum pulse at five levels of pressure and soaking in thesame solutions with no vacuum application. In the case of vacuum impregnation, the author observed a microbial growth rate higher by 0.36 log for S. cerevisiae, 0.73 log for L. acidophilus and 1.07 in the case of P. glomerata in comparison to soaked samples. A significant effect of the content of extract in the impregnating solution on the level of microorganisms introduced to the tissue was found in most of the presented studies. The best results were obtained during the application of isotonic or almost isotonic solutions. The use of hypo- and hypertonic solutions resulted in significantly lower levels of microorganisms in the final product. Most of the conducted studies present vacuum impregnation as an effective tool in the production of probiotic food based on the matrix of fruit and vegetable materials, as an alternative to dairy products. At the same time, a significant aspect is also associated with the method of fruit and vegetable tissue preservation after the introduction of microorganisms, facilitating the maintenance of their high levels in the final product. The most frequently used method in this respect, with potentially the greatest applicability, is drying, particularly air drying and freeze-drying. Noorbakhsh et al. (2013) introduced bacteria Lactobacillus rhamnosus to the tissue of apple slices together with apple juice diluted with water at a 1:1 ratio (pH 5–5.2).

After vacuum impregnation: fruits enriched with Ca2+ and Fe2+ ions respectively. Fito et al. (2001) applied vacuum impregnation to introduce calcium and iron ions to the tissue of sliced eggplant and orange rind, similarly as it was in a study by Barrera et al. (2004) for apple tissue. Introduction of Ca2+ and Fe2+ to apple tissue was connected with osmotic dehydration, however, low concentrations of introduced ions did not change the kinetics of the process and the effectiveness of calcium and iron introduction by vacuum impregnation was comparable in hypo- and hypertonic solutions.

vacuum impregnation to modify health-promoting properties of apples cv. Granny Smith (disk-shaped samples)










Forty grams of the final product (apple snack) made using mandarin juice provide the same quantity of hesperidin as 250 mL of fresh mandarin juice. At the same time, vacuum impregnation with a solution supplemented with aloe had a varied effect on the respiration processes
and respiratory quotient of tested vegetables, making it difficult to draw generalized conclusions.

After vacuum impregnation:1.51·108 CFU/g Lactobacillus salivarius spp. Salivarius; the highest microbial content: after 24 h incubation period, pH 6. Vacuum impregnated apple slices were air dried, freeze-dried and dried in a process combining air drying and radiant energy vacuum drying. Initially, the L. rhamnosus population in apple slices tissue after impregnation was at 109 CFU/g. The freeze-drying process was most effective in protecting bacteria in comparison to the other two drying methods, reducing then microbial population by 1.1 log. In turn, a combination of air drying and radiant energy vacuum drying resulted in a smaller reduction of the level of microorganisms during room temperature storage in enriched apple snacks. Additionally, in a study by Betoret et al. (2009), a combination of vacuum impregnation and drying provided a probiotic fruit product containing microorganisms at a level comparable to that in probiotic dairy products

vacuum impregnation to modify health-promoting properties of endive, cauliflower, broccoli, carrots









After vacuum impregnation: incorporation of up to 7 g of Aloe vera in 100 g (dry matter) in broccoli, about 4 g in cauliflower and endive, and about 3 g in carrots. Most frequently, the aim of such studies was to determine the potential enrichment using vacuum impregnation, select a technique for product preservation, as well as to determine its effect on contents of introduced compounds. Sanzana et al. (2011) tested the potential for the production of functional food by vacuum impregnation of broccoli, cauliflower, endive and carrot with a solution supplemented with aloe powder (Aloe barbadensis, Terry laboratories, Malbourne, Australia) at 30 g/L. In a study by Sanzana et al. (2011), apart from the introduction of aloe in the production of functional food, the effect of applied impregnation on the rate of respiration processes was determined in raw materials, which may be a factor extending shelf life of enriched vegetables.

vacuum impregnation to modify health-promoting properties of fresh-cut apple cv. Granny Smith (wedges, each ca. 10 g)








  Less acceptable in terms of sensory qualities than their fresh-cut counterparts, total polyphenol content and antioxidant activity values in vacuum impregnated products were lower than in fresh-cut samples. This procedure may cause an increase in the content of polyphenolic compounds in apple tissue, mainly anthocyanins, thus modifying fruit color as well as vitamin C content, since black currant is agood source of this compound. The authors investigated the effect of extract concentration, the level of pressure and the duration of its application on both mass transfer and nutritive value of apple cubes by applying the response surface method. In the process of vacuum impregnation they used high fructose corn syrup with extract content of 50° Brix and a black currant concentrate mixed in the following proportions [%]: 90/10, 85/15, 80/20 and pressure within the range of 40–80 kPa in time ranging from 15 to 45 min. Higher pressure and longer duration resulted in a greater uptake of extract compounds, but not a high black currant content. A higher antioxidant activity was obtained using medium and high concentrations of black currant concentrate, while the highest content of vitamin C was recorded at a medium content of black currant in the impregnating solution. Optimal parameters of vacuum impregnation were specified based on the analyses, promoting the introduction of such amounts of black currant concentrate, which significantly enhanced the nutritive value of produced apple cubes. Roβle et al. (2011) applied vacuum impregnation of fresh-cut apple wedges in order to enrich them with honey, additionally applying an addition of browning inhibitors and subjecting the enriched fruit to osmotic dehydration .

vacuum impregnation to modify health-promoting properties of fresh-cut apples cv. Fuji







In 100 g fresh-cut apples the vitamin E content increased more than 100 times, and calcium and zinc contents increased about 20 times compared with unfortified apples. In this respect, the introduction of vitamin E to fruit and vegetables, particularly as they typically contain its slight amounts, seems to be an interesting alternative to supplements. During the enrichment of fresh-cut apples with vitamin E as well as calcium and zinc Park et al. (2005) obtained a 100-fold greater content of vitamin E per 100 g of apples and approximately 20-fold higher contents of calcium and zinc in apples in comparison to apples before impregnation.

Vitamin E content of impregnated pears increased 80 to 100 times and 65% to 80% VE activities were retained during 2 week of storage. For this purpose the authors applied vacuum impregnation in a 20% corn syrup solution. Lin et al. (2006) introduced vitamin E together with a 20% solution of polyfloral honey to the tissue of pears.

Optimized conditions for vacuum impregnation of apple cubes were 18%–20% blackcurrant concentrate level, 77–80 kPa vacuum pressure and 38–45 min vacuum time. Quercetin and its derivatives were introduced similarly as in the previous studies with apple juice containing an addition of apple skin extract. The authors did not record losses of introduced polyphenolic compounds during freeze-drying or microwave-vacuum drying, while convection drying caused losses of quercetin and its derivatives amounting to 44%. Diamante et al. (2014) introduced a black currant extract to apple cubes by vacuum impregnation.

After impregnation: 108 to 109 CFU/g Lactobacillus casei, after drying at 40 °C for 36 h: 107 CFU/g Lactobacillus casei in impregnated fruits. Impregnation facilitated the effective introduction of probiotics to apple tissue, providing the content of
microorganisms in the product after convection drying (air drying) at 106–107 CFU/g. This is equivalent to the level of bacteria in dairy products. Similarly, Krasaekoopt and Suthanwong (2008) obtained the level of microorganisms in fruit after air drying at 107 CFU/g during the vacuum impregnation of guava and papaya fruits using L. casei, which makes this product probiotic food .

Vacuum Impregnation to modify physico chemical properties and sensory attributes of apple cv. Jonagold (1-cm thick slices)







Effective inhibition of browning and softening of apple slices during storage by 1% ascorbic acid, 0.005% 4-hexylresorcinol, 0.5% calcium chloride, 20% sucrose in  mpregnated solution. During the impregnation of pears the authors used an isotonic solution containing enzymatic browning inhibitors (ascorbate; 4-hexylresorcinol; EDTA; citrate) with or without an addition of calcium lactate. The most effective limitation of adverse changes in color were observed as a result of vacuum impregnation of pears with a solution containing ascorbate and an addition of lactate. They also recorded an extended shelf life of the minimally processed product to 20 days and inhibition of changes in the mechanical properties of tissue as well as microbial growth. The effect of enzymatic browning inhibition during storage was also observed by Biegańska-Marecik and Czapski (2007) when applying a solution containing ascorbic acid; 4-hexylresorcinol; calcium chloride and sucrose in vacuum impregnation of apple slices.
