This investigation was a trial to check the possibility of developing a frozen blackberry puree dessert. A blend of different varieties and selections of blackberries, as it may be expected in commercial production was preferred to provide the fruit-puree-mix.
Several stabilizers bearing different commercial names were added to the fruit...
This study was undertaken to investigate the variation in the total sugar and acid content of the frozen Marshall strawberries grown in different areas of the Pacific Northwest. The samples used in this study were collected from different freezing plants located in the states of Oregon and Washington during the...
This investigation was concerned with the reduction of
waste in raw vegetables and fruits between the times of harvest
and consumption. Reduction of spoilage in produce was attempted
by means of chemical and. physical agents as well as a combination
of both.
The first phase of the work consisted of...
Large amounts of plant tissue are used in the production of many
canned, frozen and dried foods. Some of this material is unsatisfactory
in appearance and texture, despite careful processing from high quality
raw materials.
In the present study, the changes induced in soft fruits by controlled
heating and freezing...
The microorganisms present determine to a great extent the quality of cured meat. Some of them may have unfavorable effects on the color and flavor, whereas others are known to have beneficial effects on these quality factors.
Yeasts, bacilli, and streptococci were found to be predominately present in a cover...
The need to replace the present methods of rating the acceptability of a manufacturer's lot of strawberries is indicated. Work has been done towards adapting and developing laboratory techniques for this purpose.
The quality factors checked upon were the state of maturity, the effectiveness of processing work, and the freedom...
Approximately 200 raw prunes were harvested from each of five Italian prune trees near Corvallis every three days for nine consecutive harvest dates. Forty individual fruit from each tree were drawn at random and subjected to a series of fresh fruit quality tests.
For each quality factor which was measured,...
Experiments were conducted to establish whether or not calcium and pectin treatments might improve the typically ragged appearance of canned freestone peaches without impairing other desirable characteristics. and thereby make freestone varieties more acceptable for canning.
Accordingly, Elberta peaches were subjected to three types of prepacking treatments, dipping for 30...
The purpose of this work was to analyze whole kernel corn for such factors as succulence, pericarp content and size of kernels and to check for possible relationships between these values and the subjective tests for tenderness and maturity and flavor.
In addition the purpose of this investigation was to...
It has been reported recently that extracts of filbert nuts demonstrate considerable proteolytic activity on a non-fat milk solids substrate. The addition of these extracts to cheddar cheese, in an attempt to enhance the rate of ripening, has been suggested.
In these experiments, the extracts of two varieties of filbert...
