dc.description.abstract	Pickled carrots which are dipped in a hygroscopic solution inside PET (Polyethylene terephthalate) pouches are susceptible to colour deterioration during storage. White appearance is considered as a result of either surface dehydration of outer layers or enzymatic activity or the formation of lignin as a response to wounding. Although heat treatment such as hot water blanching can minimize this defect they can lead to loss of sensory properties and nutritional properties in delicate pickled products which are fermented in a salty environment. Therefore an acidic environment can be provided along with the thermal treatment in order to reduce the temperature required for enzyme inactivation.
