  • Patent number: 6544570
    Abstract: The present invention has an object which is not to allow a characteristic discomfort smell to generate in processing brassicaceous vegetables typical of cabbages. According to the present invention are provided processes in which after pretreatment of loosening whole vegetables, heat treatment is carried out by directly applying steam to them in such a manner that the temperature of the vegetables is allowed to maintain in the range of about 80 to 95° C., followed by subsequent chopping and squeezing steps. The heat treatment can result in deactivating enzymes causing a discomfort smell, and the activation of enzymes can be suppressed also during the chopping and squeezing steps, and consequently no formation of a nasty smell characteristic of brassicaceous vegetables can be achieved.
