Summary

SULFITE REPLACEMENT WAS INVESTIGATED IN A COMMERCIAL APPLE FREEZING OPERATION. JONATHAN AND SPY APPLE SLICES WERE VACUUM-IMPREGNATED IN 0.5 OR 1% L-ASCORBIC ACID (LAA) OR D-ARABOASCORBIC ACID (DAA), 0.25 OR 0.5% CITRIC ACID, 2% SODIUM CHLORIDE, AND 0.25% CALCIUM CHLORIDE. TREATMENTS WITH DAA GAVE COLOUR AND SENSORY PROPERTIES EQUAL TO LAA TREATMENTS. SLICE COLOUR WAS NOT SIGNIFICANTLY DIFFERENT BETWEEN 0.5 AND 1.0% ASCORBIC ACID ISOMERS AND 0.25 OR 0.5% CITRIC ACID. SHEAR MEASUREMENTS OF JONATHAN SLICES WERE SIGNIFICANTLY INFLUENCED BY DAA AND CITRIC ACID CONCENTRATIONS. TEXTURE OF SPY SLICES WAS NOT AFFECTED BY TREATMENT OR STORAGE.
