Sensory and biochemical changes in Swiss chard (Beta vulgaris) during blanching

open access: yesLWT - Food Science and Technology, 2005
Abstract The effects of blanching chard leaves under steam individually and in 3 and 5 leaves deep beds was investigated. Blanching for 30 s sufficed to inactivate peroxidase. Both the duration of the blanching process and the depth of blanching beds affected the loss of ascorbic acid, with a 31.35% retention for chard leaves blanched for 120 s in 5 ...
