The potato is a starchy, tuberous crop from the perennial nightshade Solanum tuberosum. Potato has high level moisture content, hence it is perishable crop. Blanching is an unit operation prior to freezing, canning, drying in which fruit and vegetables are heated for the purpose of inactivate enzymes; modifying texture; preserving colour, flavour and nutritional value; and removing trapped air. An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of pre-treatments on quality of dried potato slices. | Effect of hot water blanching treatment on quality of dried potato slices
