Type of article: Article, IJR article

Summary

BLANCHING WAS DONE USING STEAM FOLLOWED BY COLD WATER OR AIR (STATIC OR FORCED) COOLING. STEAM BLANCHING PRODUCED A TOTAL SOLIDS LOSS OF 1.04%, AN EFFLUENT OF 9.50 GRAMMES/100 GRAMMES OF FRESH ASPARAGUS, A CHEMICAL OXYGEN DEMAND OF 0.061 GRAMME/100 GRAMMES OF FRESH ASPARAGUS AND A YIELD OF 99.20%. YIELDS FOR COLD WATER COOLING, STATIC AIR COOLING AND FORCED AIR COOLING WERE, RESPECTIVELY, 99.8, 94.7 AND 96.0%. SINCE COLD WATER COOLING PRODUCED A TOTAL SOLIDS LOSS SIMILAR TO STEAM BLANCHING, THE COMBINATION STEAM BLANCHING COLD WATER COOLING APPEARS TO BE CONVENIENT.
