| description | The main objective of this study is to investigate the best pre-treatment based on physical properties, ascorbic acid and
β-carotene content of frozen sweet corn kernels of the Hibrimas variety. Five types of pre-treatments being studied: water
blanching, steam blanching, 0.5% citric acid blanching, 2.0% sodium chloride blanching and 1.0% sodium metabisulfite
blanching. It was discovered that sodium metabisulfite blanching can improve texture of frozen corn kernels while citric acid
blanching play vital role in colour and total soluble solids retention. pH value is more stable after subjected to steam pretreatment.
Chemical pre-treatments were outweighing physical pre-treatments in ascorbic acid retention. There were no
significant effects showed by pre-treatments on storage weight loss and β-carotene content. Citric acid pre-treatment was
suggested to be the best pre-treatment due to its high colour and total soluble content. |
