Utilization Blanching Techniques
- Blanching is a must for most vegetables to be frozen.
- It slows or stops the enzyme action which can cause loss of flavor, color and texture.
- The blanching time is very important and varies with the vegetable and size.
- Under blanching stimulates the activity of enzymes and is worse than no blanching
