This research was conducted using completely Randomized Complete
Random (RAL) design with 6 treatments, P1 = water blanching temperature 400C
with time of 3 minutes (30 red chili), P2 = water blanching temperature 500C with
time 4 minutes (30 red peppers), P3 = water blanching temperature 550C with
time 5 minutes (30 red peppers), P4 = steam blanching temperature 450C with
time 3 minutes (30 hot peppers), P5 = steam blanching temperature 500C with
time 4 minutes (30 red peppers), P6 = steam blanching a temperature of 550C
with a time of 5 minutes (30 red peppers) and all treatments repeated three times.
The results show that blanching does not effect the quality of red chilli.
