Abstract
It was demonstrated that cutting cabbage with an ordinary steel knife caused considerable loss of ascorbic acid; "stainless" steel cutters are recommended. Carrots, green beans and cabbage should be dried immediately after being cut up, but the cut potatoes and cauliflower should receive a short preliminary steaming ("blanching"), to conserve vit. and palatability.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
