Notes:
Pimiento peppers were canned at five levels of acidification, two levels of added sugar, three stages of ripeness, three post-harvest holding periods, and with three organic acids in separate experiments. Sensory evaluation of flavor revealed that although the panelists were able to distinguish differences due to pH, type of acid and sugar addition, there were no preferences shown for any treatments within experiments. Processing, type of acid, ripeness, post-harvest holding period, acidification technique, and peeling method influenced the amount of acid required to acidify pimientos to a given pH. Acid level and type affected pH and total acidity, pimiento ripeness influenced drained weight and Gardner color values, and ripeness and post-harvest holding period influenced shear texture of processed pimientos.
