The invention relates to the field of
food processing color protection, in particular to a color protection composition and a color protection method for preparing quick-frozen
dandelion dishes, the composition comprises
sodium ascorbate,
calcium lactate and EDTA-2Na, dandelions are washed, then placed in
blanching liquid containing the color protection composition to be blanched, quickly fished out after
blanching is finished, and subjected to
shock cooling with
ice water to 10 DEG C or below, and a finished product is obtained. Draining off water, immediately quickly freezing, and freezing and preserving in a refrigerator at the temperature of-18 DEG C; according to the compound color protection formula provided by the invention, the
safety risk of
heavy metals is avoided, enzymatic
browning can be inhibited, and the color of
dandelion is stable; the
blanching temperature and time parameters matched with the characteristics of the
dandelion leaves are optimized, the problems of high-temperature long-time
softening and rotting and low-temperature short-time
enzyme inactivation are solved, and
chlorophyll degradation and
nutrition loss are reduced while the activities of
polyphenol oxidase and
peroxidase are ensured to be rapidly passivated; the synergistic effect of composite color protection and blanching processes is achieved, the process is simplified, and the method is suitable for large-scale production of quick-
frozen vegetables.
