1.In troduction
There are two main temperature
categories employed in thermal processing:
Pasteurization and Sterilisation. The basic
purpose for the thermal processing of foods is to reduce or destroy microbial activity, reduce or destroy enzyme activity and to produce physical or chemical changes to make the food meet a certain quality standard. e.g. gelatenization of starch & denaturation of proteins to produce edible food. There are a number of types of heat processing employed by the food industry.
2.Blanching
The primary purpose of blanching is
to destroy enzyme activity in fruit and vegetables. It is not intended as a sole method of preservation, but as a pre- treatment prior to freezing, drying and canning. Other functions of blanching include:
Reducing surface microbial
contamination
Softening vegetable tissues to
