Title: Peeling fruits and vegetables by multiple heatings and coolings
Abstract:
Novel process for peeling fruits and vegetables which yields maximum skin removal coupled with minimum weight loss. The primary feature of the invention is loosening the skin by applying multiple heat treatments, each followed by a cooling step. Each of the heatings is ineffective by itself to attain loosening of the skin, but the multiple heatings in aggregate and in conjunction with the coolings yield effective loosening of the skin without cooking the flesh of the fruit or vegetable being peeled.
