Abstract

Loss of texture in vegetable and fruit material caused by heating such material in connection with the preservation thereof can be minimized by contacting the fresh vegetable and fruit material with certain organic compounds for a short period of time and then removing the organic compound by rinsing the material with water or a water-based medium prior to heating the vegetable and fruit material.
