7.1 Introduction
There is a growing trend toward increased consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables.
According to the USDA, fresh fruit consumption in the United States in 2000 was
28% above average annual fruit consumption of the 1970s, and fresh vegetable
consumption was 26% above average annual vegetable consumption for the same
period (USDA 2001 –2002).
Higher consumption of fruits and vegetables has been associated with growing
interest in a healthier diet, and is expected to increase over time. International organi-
zations (World Health Organization/WHO 2002 ; Food and Agriculture Organization/
FAO 2003) have been urging nations everywhere to promote consumption of
fruits and vegetables, as a diet high in such foods has been found to be associated
with decreased incidences of birth defects, mental and physical retardation, weakened
immune systems, blindness, cardio-vascular diseases, and some forms of cancer
and diabetes (Ford and Mookdad 2001 ; Genkinger et al. 2004 ; Hung et al. 2004 ;
FAO 2003) . WHO (2002) has estimated that low fruit and vegetable intake is
among the top ten risk factors contributing to mortality (2.7 million deaths each
year). They also reported that 19% of gastrointestinal cancer, 31% of ischemic heart
disease, and 11% of stroke occurrences are caused by low intake of fruits and
vegetables.
Consumers today have higher expectations than ever before, insisting their food
