Solution
Answer: Option A
Solution:
Fruits are blanched before canning at 80°C.Blanching foods helps reduce quality loss over time.
Blanching is scalding vegetables and fruits in boiling water or steam for a short time. It is typically followed by quick, thorough cooling in very cold or ice water. Blanching stops enzyme actions which otherwise cause loss of flavour, colour and texture.
