Summary
Sweet peppers (cv. Puma and King Arthur) were blanched using the immersion method in a water bath at 85 and 95 °C (for 90 and 60 sec) and then frozen at three different rates: 0.7, 1.8 and 8.5 cm/h. The tissue skin strength was evaluated on the basis of penetration tests. It was assessed that blanching and freezing had a significant influence on the mechanical endurance of the skin.
