Abstract

The effect of dehydration, canning and sauerkraut fermentation on ascorbigen, free reducing substances and total reducing substances in cabbage was studied. Cabbage was shredded and then: (i) blanched in steam for 3 min, sulphited in 0.2% potassium metabisulphite for 10 min, and dehydrated in a cabinet drier at 60 degree C for 4-5 h to moisture content of 14.9%; (ii) blanched for 1 min in steam, filled into A2 cans, covered with 2% brine, exhausted in steam to centre temp. of 79.4 degree C, sealed and heated for 30 min at 115 degree C; or (iii) washed and drained, mixed with salt (2.25%), packed tightly into glass jars and allowed to ferment at room temp. Free reducing substances, total reducing substances, and ascorbigen (mg/100 g DM) respectively were: (i) raw 350.1, 386.5, 36.4, dehydrated 16.0, 16.0, 0; (ii) raw 351.2, 369.2, 18.0, steam blanched 324.6, 335.5, 10.9, canned 123.6, 104.8, 0; (iii) raw 258.6, 267.9, 9.3, sauerkraut (1 wk) 557.5, 535.0, 0; sauerkraut (2 wk) 490.0, 399.1, 0. The ascorbigen appears to be hydrolysed at pH 3.5-4.5 during fermentation, suggesting hydrolysis factors other then the pH.
