Today, there are several methods used for peanut
blanching including microwave, dry, alkali, spin, water, and peroxide, although most of the research on
blanching has been carried out on runner peanuts using hot air ovens [6].
A2 x 3 factorial design with experimental factors as two pepper drying methods (open-sun drying and use of solar dryer) and 3 levels of pepper
blanching (unblanched, blanched in plain water, and blanched in 2% NaCl) were conducted.

Other varieties, such as Utah, Monterey or Conquistador, can still be grown without
blanching, though the stalks will be slightly darker with more flavor.
You can also include selected veggies and herbs in the mix when freezing tomatoes, and let the simmering tomatoes serve as the
blanching liquid.
Peroxidase, a relatively thermally stable enzyme in broccoli, is currently used for measuring whether the
blanching process is complete.
Indeed, I once experimented when I had stacks of beans and froze half immediately, half after
blanching. There was no difference.
Before
blanching and refreshing, a few guidelines should be followed: ?
The basic version consists of an infeed station, a preheating section,
blanching station and a cooling section.
ASelf-blanching celery needs to be planted in blocks rather than a row as the closeness keeps the light out and helps with the
blanching. Give them plenty of water to keep them tender.
This year from the golf course we have harvested over half a tonne of apples (that is a lot of peeling, chopping and
blanching!) gooseberries, plums, blackberries and crab apples.
They accomplish this feat by slicing the potatoes with the peel still on, by frying them in relatively small batches and by not
blanching the potatoes first as is quite common in the industry.
