FOOD-IMMERSING SOLUTION AND EMPLOYMENT THEREOF

摘要

PURPOSE:To improve the long term color-retaining property of a food to be treated by dissolving =0.0005 pt.wt. of a bicarbonate salt and =0.0002 pt.wt. of L-ascorbic acid salt or citric acid salt in a solution for immersing the food therein. CONSTITUTION:At least 0.0005wt.% of a single one or mixture of bicarbonates such as sodium bicarbonate and potassium bicarbonates or carbonate salts such as sodium carbonate and potassium carbonate is dissolved in a solution for immersing a food. A single one or combination of L-ascorbic acid, L-ascorbic acid salt such as L-ascorbic acid sodium salt or L-ascorbic acid potassium salt and a citric acid salt such as citric acid sodium salt or citric acid potassium salt is dissolved in the solution in an amount of at least 0.0002wt.% to provide an immersion solution for foods.
