    Pretreatment The process of blanching involves subjecting vegetables to a high enough temperature to deactivate the enzymes. Blanching is neces- sary to stop the naturally occurring enzymes from causing loss of color and flavor during drying and storage. Blanching also relaxes the tissue walls so moisture can more readily escape during drying and enter during rehydrating.
