Abstract
Widely used vegetables such as onion, soybean sprout, and carrot in Korean dishes were studied to reduce losses in firmness during cook/chill storage for food service system. Blanching at 7$0^{\circ}C$ affect positively on textural properties of the three vegetables while reheating at the food service practice. Firmness of the vegetables was improved and stabilized with addition of calcium ion in blanching solution during storage at refrigeration temperature. Calcium was effective to improve or sustain firmness during blanching. The effect of calcium on firmness of blanched and cooked soybean sprout was less significant than that of carrot and onion, especially at short period of storage under refrigerated condition. In conclusion, low temperature blanching with calcium ion was effective to maintain firmness of the three vegetables before cooking while refrigerated storage of the cooked vegetables and subsequent reheating for food service system.
