Journal Title: BEST : International Journal of Humanities , Arts, Medicine and Sciences ( BEST : IJHAMS ) - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 12
Abstract
Aim is to study the effects of selected blanching treatments, on the quality of carrots over a temperature range of 80–100°C. The blanching treatments selected were steam, water, 0.05 N acetic acid solution and 0.2% calcium chloride solution. These blanching treatments were optimised with respect to the maximum yield of carrot juice and minimal loss of β-carotene, by using Response Surface Method. The most effective blanching treatment was 5.6 min in hot water at 91.4°C and yields for 55.334% of carrot juice and minimal loss in β-carotene content.
