Effects of Different Blanching Methods and Freezing Rates on Textural Properties of Prepared Broccoli by ZHAO Yinuo, JIN Xin, BI Jinfeng, XIE Yitong, DU Ting

“…Low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (LF-NMR) spectroscopy and physicochemical analysis were used to evaluate the water distribution, water-holding capacity (WHC), electrical conductivity, and hardness of broccoli samples subjected to hot water or steam blanching followed by freezing at −20, −40, and −80 ℃. Besides, the microstructure was observed. The results indicated that the optimal process for maintaining the hardness of broccoli was steam blanching followed by freezing at −40 ℃. …”
