ABSTRACT:
This invention describes a method for removing the skins of fruits and vegetables by explosive vaporization of the moisture in the fruit or vegetable under the skin. The fruit or vegetable is placed in a peeling vessel, and the pressure in the vessel is rapidly lowered, below atmospheric pressure, so as to cause explosive vaporization of the moisture. Some of the air in the peeling vessel may be removed prior to explosive vaporization, so that it can be carried out by mere condensation of water vapour present in the peeling chamber (without the aid of a vacuum pump or other vacuum device, for instance). In addition, the fruit or vegetable may be cooled prior to explosive vaporization, so that it can be carried out at a lower temperature than without such cooling, which is favorable to preserving the physical consistency and other qualities of some fruits and vegetables.
