2.1. Vegetal material

The fruits used were goldenberry discarded from the export chain according to the export classification criteria of the Caribbean Exotic packing house (Rionegro, Antioquia-Colombia). These fruits were harvested in August 2021 from orchards certified in Global good agricultural practice (GAP) (Rionegro, Antioquia-Colombia). Fruits were sorted at a maturity stage between 4 and 6, which correspond to light orange, orange, and intense orange skin colors, respectively NTC 4580 [11]. Before the process, the calyx was manually removed, the fruits were washed, and unripe fruits (green color of the skin) and foreign materials were eliminated. Goldenberries were stored at refrigeration temperature (4 °C) until FVE processing.
