Effects of blanching on protein composition and texture in geoduck muscle during frozen storage at $-20^{\circ}C$ were investigated. In frozen muscle, sarcoplasmic protein and myofibrillar protein were decreased, while alkali-soluble protein increased rapidly. During the storage of the blanched muscle(at $95^{\circ}C$ for 2 min.), sarcoplasmic and myofibrilla protein showed slow decreases. The muscle blanched for 2 min(BM) showed the best texture among the samples treated with various blanching times(at $95^{\circ}C$ for 1, 2, 3, and mins). In comparing the textures of BM with raw muscle, hardness of BM was similar raw muscle, and elasticity and stress relaxation of BM revealed lower levels than those of raw muscle, but break elongation and toughness were higher. In the changes of texture of raw muscle and BM during the frozen storage, as the storage time lengthened, hardness and toughness of both muscles were stronger, and both stress relaxations showed greatly decreases during initial storage(7 days), and break elongation level of raw muscle showed rapid increases in 100 days but there were no changes in that of BM, Elasticity of raw muscle gradually reduced during storage while that of BM increased.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of pretreatments on quality of frozen peach. Pretreatments including steam blanching, water blanching, high pressure, and osmotic dehydration were applied to two varieties (Daeokgye and Hwangdo). Pretreated peaches were frozen and thawed at $-20^{\circ}C$ and $5^{\circ}C$, respectively. Steam blanching and osmotic dehydration with ascorbic acid reduced ${\Delta}E$ values without change of pH and acidity. Osmotic dehydration with sucrose decreased drip loss and increased brix. Freezing/thawing resulted in an increase of maximum force, while maximum force decreased with increasing time of steam and water blanching. Furthermore, osmotic dehydration with calcium chloride increased maximum force. High pressure decreased maximum force of Daeokgye and increased that of Hwangdo compared with non-treatment. Total polyphenol content, DPPH radical scavenging activity, and ABTS radical scavenging activity were improved by pretreatment including steam blanching, blanching, and osmotic dehydration with ascorbic acid.

The present study was conducted to investigate effect of blanching time on changes in vitamin and mineral contents in leafy vegetables treated by different pesticides. Vitamin A content of fresh leafy vegetables was high whorled mallow > chard > spinach in order and vitamin C content of those was high spinach > whorled mallow > chard in order. Vitamin A and C contents of leafy vegetables treated by non-systemic pesticide were higher than those of leafy vegetables treated by systemic pesticide. Changes in vitamin A and C contents of leafy vegetables treated by systemic pesticide and non-systemic pesticide showed a similar trend. Vitamin A content significantly increased, while vitamin C content significantly decreased by conventional blanching. Changes in mineral contents in leafy vegetables treated by systemic pesticide and non-systemic pesticide showed a similar trend. Upon conventional blanching, Mg in spinach, Mg and Ca in chard and whorled mallow slightly increased, while K in all leafy vegetables remarkably decreased, and Se in spinach slightly decreased and Se in other vegetables remarkably decreased. On the other hand, Na, P, Fe, Cu and Zn in all leafy vegetables slightly decreased or did not show any change.

This study investigated the antioxidative activities and quality characteristics of Aster scaber Bibimbap as a home meal replacement with blanching (BASB) or without blanching (ASB) pretreatment. BASB samples at 5.0 g showed higher moisture, crude protein, and ash contents than the control (p<0.05). Color L, a, b-values of samples significantly decreased with increased content of Aster scaber powder (p<0.05). BASB samples showed lower hardness than ASB samples. BASB samples showed higher total phenolic content and DPPH radical scavenging activity than ASB samples. BASB samples showed higher sensory values for color, savory aroma, savory flavor, and aftertaste than ASB samples. Except for glossiness, BASB samples showed higher sensory acceptance scores than ASB samples. Sensory acceptance tests of all samples showed high scores for 'usually like', representing the possibility of successful development of Bibimbap as a home meal replacement, especially that containing blanching pre-treated Aster scaber powder.

Effect of blanching and/or $CaCl_2$ addition on the quality characteristics of Oiji prepared by dry salting method, which has been used for industry, was investigated. Control$(15\%\;salt),\;CAO(15\%\;salt\;+\;0.04\%\;CaCl_2)$ and BCO $(15\%\;salt\;+\;0.04\%\;CaCl_2+blanching\;at\;60^{\circ}C\;for\;20\;min)$ for 165 days. Acidity was lower, but pH was higher in BCO than in the control or CAO. During the whole period of storage, greenness(-a) of BCO was maintained in Hunter color system, compared with the other groups. The numbers of total microbes, lactic acid bacteria and yeast were the lowest in BCO, while the highest in control. Moreover, texture profile analysis exhibited that fracturability and hardness maintained the highest in BCO during storage, compared with the other groups. Based on these results, combination of blanching and $CaCl_2$ addition is favorable to extend the shelf life and to maintain the good quality.

This study was conducted to investigate the changes in contents of total flavonoid and total polyphenol of three leafy vegetables, spinach(Spinacia oleracea L.), chard(Beta vulgaris L.), whorled mallow(Malva verticillata L.) by various blanching times. Total flavonoid and total polyphenol contents of spinach were 21.01 and 25.58 mg/g, those of chard were 26.02 and 35.14 mg/g, and those of whorled mallow were 16.80 and 19.94 mg/g, respectively. Total flavonoid and total polyphenol contents of chard were the highest among the leafy vegetables. Total flavonoid and total polyphenol contents of leafy vegetables were decreased according to blanching time. Especially, total flavonoid content of chard showed significant loss of $15-30\%$ by blanching time. Total polyphenol content of whorled mallow showed loss of $37-39\%$, but the decrease was not significant.

This study was conducted to obtain the fundamental data for the processing of carrot juices and know the effects of blanching conditions, acid and alkali treatments and sterilization on the quality factors of carrot juices. The result obtained was as follows. 1. Blanching condition, $100^{\circ}C$, 5min. was the most effective for the Brix, amino-N content, suspended solid, light transmittance and yield of carrot juices among $90^{\circ}C$, 15min., $95^{\circ}C$, 10 min., and $100^{\circ}C$, 5min. 2. 0.05N-acetic acid solution was the most effective blanching solution for the suspended solid, light transmittance, viscosity and yield of the juices compared to 0.05N-citric acid and 0.03N-hydrochloric acid solution. 3. The color changes during the processing of carrot juices caused by blanching process rather than sterilization process. 4. The ${\beta}$-carotene in carrot juices was very stable and about 80 % of it was remained in the carrot juice which had been blanched, extracted and sterilized at $115^{\circ}C$ for 30min. 5. Alkali treatment for the juice from acid - blanched carrots formed discoloration after sterilization. 6. Relative content (%) of sugars in raw carrot juice we re ribose, 8.51%; fructose. 10.15%; glucose, 12.25%; sucrose, 49.53% and oligosaccharide, 19.56%. When the carrots were blanched in boiling water, the contents of monosaccharide and disaccharide decreased slightly but that of oligosaccharide increased slightly, however, when the carrots were blanched in acid solution, and then neutralized and sterilized, relative contents of ribose and sucrose decreased remarkably but that of oligosaccharide increased considerably and those of glucose and fructose increased slightly. 7. Nineteen sorts of free amino acid were detected from the carrot juices and the mains of them were threonine+asparagine, alanine, serine+glutamine, aspartic acid, arginine, and glutamic acid.

Changes in chemical components of green tea leaves at different cooking conditions-blanching and frying-were surveyed as a method of utilizing low graded green tea leaves which missed appropriate plucking times. There was no significant difference in protein content during cooking. But contents of chlorophyll, tannin, vitamin C and caffeine were decreased during cooking, contents of chlorophyll and caffeine showed a greater decrease in frying than blanching. Content of total amino acid of green tea leaf was 15.8% and blanching showed bigger diminution of its content in comparision with frying during cooking.
