Microwave-assisted (0.1 or 0.2 Wg-1) convection drying was also applied to osmotically dehydrated blueberries, leading to dried berries that were comparable to freeze-dried ones in much shorter time (Venkatachalapathy and Raghavan, 1998). Frozen blueberries were also dried in a microwave and spouted bed combined dryer (MWSB) after a pretreatment using ethyl oleate and a NaOH dipping solution followed by sucrose osmotic treatment (Feng et al., 1999). Osmotic dehydration prevented the blueberries from... 

A combined technique has been developed for the preparative isolation of anthocyanins from blackcurrant (Ribes nigrum) fruits. Frozen berries (370 g) were extracted three times with 11 of methanol containing 0.1 per cent TFA at 4°C for 6 h. The combined exracts were concentrated, diluted to 250 ml with water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The aqueous phase was concentrated to 100 ml and applied in an ion-exchange column. The column... 

Most berries and seeds can be frozen as is, but other plant materials of larger size should be reduced in particle size to 2 cm3 with a stainless steel knife. 

The export of processed foods is seen as future growth area, especially to northern European countries where demand is growing, but raw materials are still in short supply (Datamonitor 1999). Eastern Europe, particularly EU accession countries, is seen as a potentially significant export market for Europe, especially for frozen berries and seeds (PSL 1998).

When certain fruits, such as mangos and peaches, are in season, I buy them at their best taste and lowest price, let them get nice and ripe, and store them in packets in the freezer. Many stores also stock bags of frozen fruits and berries. I keep frozen orange juice and red grape juice concentrate handy as well. Egg substitute is an excellent protein source to balance the meal s nutritional profile. If your smoothie comes out thicker than you d like, just add more milk, water, or juice to thin it out to your preference. 

The freeze-dried powder, expensive for most consumers at about 27 per pound, is nevertheless popular for manufacturing uses in smoothies, granola bars, cereals, and chocolate and as a flavor-color additive for beverages. Some American processors retain the pasteurized berry pulp as a frozen puree, which is useful in manufacturing sorbet, ice cream, gelato, jam, and yogurt products. Juice and oils are extracted from the puree raw material for manufacturing needs. 

Seaberry (Sea buckthorn). Intrepid consumers may come across fresh or frozen berries from artisan outlets in southern Canada, but otherwise this superfruit is not grown on a commercial scale in North America and is not widely imported, so it is rare in American stores. Seaberry products are popular in a variety of fresh, dried, beverage, and kitchen products in northern Europe, Russia, India, and Southeast Asia. 

As soon as the grape has been picked from the plant, the seeds and skins of 50 berries are separated from the others parts of the berry, separately immersed in two solutions of 50 mL tartrate buffer solutions containing 1 g/L SO2 and immediately frozen. Before analysis, samples are heated at room temperature and so kept for 4 h in order to allow the extraction to occur. Extracts are then homogenized and centrifuged, the supernatant is transferred in a 100-mL volumetric flask, pellets are re-suspended twice in 15-20 mL of tartrate buffer and, after centrifugation, the liquid phases are collected in the same volumetric flask and the final volume is adjusted to 100 mL by tartrate buffer. 

Seeds of 20 berries are extracted with 50 mL of a acetone/water 2 1 (v/v) solution at 20 °C for 2 h (Kennedy etal., 2000). Extracts are filtered, acetone is removed under vacuum at 35 °C, and the residual aqueous solution is diluted to 25 mL with distilled water. Ten millilitres of the resulting solution is transferred in a sample tube, frozen, and then freeze-dried. The solid residue is weighed and then dissolved in methanol (10 mg solid in 1 mL methanol).

Soft fruits like berries won t keep for long after they ve been picked, so one of the best ways to preserve their heavenly juices and sweet summer taste is to turn them into popsicles or compote, which can also be frozen. The compote is delicious with ice cream, in a pie or as the basis of a summer pudding.
