Phone 805 Pattern Use of Vitamin C To Hold Color Of Canned Peaches Keeping peaches from darken ing in canning or freezing has al ways been a problem states Miss Doris McWhorter, home demon stration agent for Union county. To hold the color and flavor in either home canned or frozen peaches, Miss McWhorter sugests the u s e of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) as an anti-darkening agent. Experiments have shown that air causes the darkening of peaches. Vitamin C acts against oxygen to prevent the change in color and flavor of the fruit at the top of the jar where it is most exposed to air. Vitamin C is easily obtained at the drugstore. The tablet form is suggested in canning: lKi tablets of 100 mg., 2V4 tablets of 50 mg., or 5 tablets of 25 mg. potency for each pint jar of peaches. The powder form is easily used in freezing. In freezing, if a less expensive treatment is preferred, the peeled or sliced peaches may be dipped in a citric acid solution for one minute using Vt teaspoon of citric acid crystals for each quart of water. The peaches are then drained and packed in a contain er with chilled syrup for freezing. The darkening of peaches does not necessarily indicate spoilage although often the darkening causes the development of unde sirable and off flavors, adds Miss McWhorter.
