Summary

MICROWAVE TREATMENT OF BANANA SLICES AT 650 WATTS FOR 2 MIN OR IMMERSION OF WHOLE PEELED FRUITS IN BOILING WATER FOR 11 MIN FOLLOWED BY FREEZING AT 249 K (-24 DEG C) INHIBITED COLOUR DETERIORATION IN THE FROZEN PRODUCT. TREATMENTS SHOWED DIFFERENT EFFECTIVENESS DEPENDING ON THE ENZYMATIC SYSTEM STUDIED (POLYPHENOLOXIDASE OR PEROXYDASE) AND BANANA MATURITY LEVEL AT THE PROCESSING DATE. BLANCHING IN BOILING WATER YIELDED A GOOD FROZEN PRODUCT IN WHICH NO DARKENING WAS OBSERVED.
