Abstract

Generally some fruits like peaches, pears and guavas, which have a fairly thick skin, are peeled prior to canning, while fruits like plum, apricots, berry fruits, etc., which have a thin skin, are canned' as such without removing the .peel. The peel is removed either mechanically by means of a knife or by steaming or chemically by treatment with boiling caustic lye solution, depending upon the nature of the skin. In the case of mangoes, the peel is comparatively thick and is removed by means of' a knife, as lye treatment is not quite effective for the purpos~. Peeling by knife is rather a tedious process. Further, the flavour of a fruit is influenced to a considerable extent by its peel also. In order to find out to what extent peeling could be avoided in canning mango slices and to study the influence or retention of the peel on the quality of the canned mango slices, a series of canning trials were conducted. The results are briefly discussed in this paper.
