ABSTRACT:
There is provided a method for improving the color of containerized green vegetables, comprising the steps of: (a) blanching the vegetables for an extended period of time; (b) packing the blanched vegetables into a container along with an aqueous packing solution containing zinc or copper ions; (c) sealing the container; and (d) subjecting the containerized vegetables and packing solution to a sterilization process. Alternatively, the method may comprise the steps of: (a) holding the vegetables at an elevated temperature for a predetermined period of time; (b) blanching the vegetables with an aqueous blanching solution containing zinc or copper ions; (c) packing the blanched vegetables into a container along with an aqueous packing solution; (d) sealing the container; and (e) subjecting the containerized vegetables and packing solution to a sterilization process.
