Peaches frozen

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. 

Combine the preserves, sugar, and water in a skillet and simmer them over low heat until they re syrupy, about 5 minutes. Add the peaches and cook them for another 3 to 4 minutes, turning them a few times until they re tender. (Out of season, you can use frozen peaches.) Add the lemon juice and stir it through.

Ascorbic acid loss in frozen foods is highly temperature dependent. For example, when peaches, boysenberries, or strawberries are stored at — 7°C instead of — 18°C, the rate of ascorbic acid degradation increases by a factor of 30-70 (105,106),...

Other fruit spirits are distilled from fresh or frozen fruits or their juices (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, currants, apricots, peaches and others) while adding alcohol. Pomaceous fruit spirits are made from fresh fermented apples or other pomaceous fruits, from the whole fmit or its juices without the addition of sugar-containing substances, sugar or alcohol of another kind with a minimum alcohol content of approx. 38% by vol.

HPSF has also been applied in the processing of fruits, pork, lobster, and tofu. Martino et al. (1998) observed that a uniform and instantaneous ice nucleation within the whole volume of a pork sample was achieved only by HPSF when compared to classical freezing methods. Otero et al. (2000) confirmed the beneficial effects of HPSF on whole peach and mango as compared to air-blast frozen samples. 

The relative merits of sucrose, dextrose, and corn sirup as a food preservative from the standpoint of color and flavor retention have been investigated by several workers. Using frozen peach slices (18, 118, 116), strawberry preserves (110), and frozen blackberries and raspberries (17), the following results were observed (1) Replacement of part of the sucrose by dextrose resulted in poorer color of frozen peaches and (2) replacement of 25 to 50% of the sucrose with corn sirup produced detectable changes in flavor in all the cited foods. 

Another practical example showing the preservative effect of added sucrose is given by Cruess and Glazewski (24) in the preservation of frozen pack fruit nectars. Nectars made from apricots—peach, plum, and guava and various blends— can be prepared and stored at 0° F. for a long period of time with little loss of fresh fruit flavor. 

Despite the excellent reasons for use of sirup as the sweetener in frozen fruits, and the fact that most processors may prefer to use sirup where the end use permits, apparently the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. At the present time 80 to 90% of the frozen fruit is packed with dry sugars. This includes practically all of the fruit in large containers (30 pounds and over) and the smaller containers of frozen strawberries. Most of the other retail packages of fruit, including peaches and raspberries, are sirup-packed. 

Somewhat similar results were obtained by Caul et al. (2) in a study of the effects of replacing sucrose in frozen peaches by other sweeteners. Enzyme-converted corn sirup (62 D.E.), corn sirup unmixed (42 D.E.), invert sirup (50% invert), dextrose, and sucrose were used in the tests. No crystallization of dextrose hydrate was found in 45° Brix liquid packing medium containing 45% detrose and 55% sucrose nor in 55° Brix liquid packing medium containing 25% dextrose and 75% sucrose. Panel differentiations were made primarily on a basis of differences in sweetness and sourness rather than on flavor characteristic of the sweeteners themselves. 

With this general background, some work has teen carried out on the effect of low concentrations of sucrose and, in some cases, dextrose on the flavor of cooked foods which are commonly seasoned with butter, salt, and pepper. In earlier studies of various sweeteners, sweet taste was a flavoring, since it was predominant in the flavor of the strawberry preserves (10), frozen peaches (5), red raspberries, blackberries U), and strawberries. In addition, it counteracted some of the inherent sourness and enhanced natural fruit character. The following studies were designed to test the potentialities of sweeteners as seasonings.

Merely reducing the temperature reduces the reaction rate, but the colour changes are quite rapid even at 0 °C. This means that sensitive products that have not been pre-treated should be frozen as quickly as possible, for example mushrooms and sliced peaches. Rapid intensive browning occurs during defrosting, when the activity of polyphenol oxidases increases due to disruption of cellular structures by ice crystals. 

Freezing— The vitamin contents of eight common frozen fruit products (apples, apricots, blueberries, cherries, orange juice concentrate, peaches, raspberries, and strawberries) were found to be lower than those of their fresh counterparts, but higher than those of canned fruit products.This study showed that the average vitamin losses were as follows vitamin A, 37% vitamin B-1 (thiamin), 29% vitamin B-2 (riboflavin), 17% niacin, 15% and vitamin C, 18%. 

PROCESSING. Most of the U.S. peach crop is either marketed as fresh or canned produce. Sixty-seven percent is marketed as fresh fruit, while 28% is canned. The remaining 5% of the crop is distributed among the following processes dried, 1% frozen, 3% and jams, preserves, brandy, and some other miscellaneous products, 1%. Nearly all nectarines are marketed as fresh fruit...
