Abstract:
The present invention relates to processed food containing strawberries, blueberries, and Estern prickly pear, and to a method for producing the same. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method for producing processed food such as frozen food and fruit jam by producing a concentrate in which pigment components of strawberries, blueberries, and Estern prickly pear are minimally destroyed. The processed food according to the present invention is produced by adding strawberries, blueberries, and Estern prickly pear. When concentrated liquid of strawberries, blueberries, and Estern prickly pear is packed in a pouch and is distributed as frozen food, the loss of pigments can be prevented. When produced as jam, the processed food is spread well on bread and has pigments, which are not destroyed, and an increased shelf life, compared to jam produced by singly using strawberries or blueberries.
