Abstract:
The influence of blanching and the gradual reduction of pH within carrot tissue from 6.2 to 3.9 by acetic acid infiltration was studied. Maximum firmness of about 86 N was observed at pH 4.4, while at higher or lower pH firmness was about 58 N. Galacturonic acid content, and neutral sugars of the water-soluble pectic, EDTA and alkaline-soluble pectin fractions were assessed after the pH treatments. EDTA-soluble pectin increased after blanching at all pH values, but less so at pH 4.4. Total pectin decreased to a lesser extent at pH 4.4 than at either higher (6.2) or lower (3.9) pH values. Lower amounts of soluble pectin were found at pH 4.4 than in the control. A significant positive correlation was found between firmness and the alkali-soluble pectin content. © 1992.
