The effect of technological processes on the content of nitrates in spinach and carrot was investigated. Scalding of spinach during 2 minutes and at the temperature of 96 degrees C in water and vapour resulted in a decrease of the content of nitrates in spinach by 54-86% and that of carrot during 16 minutes - in a decrease of these compounds by 15.5-30.5%. In both frozen vegetables after the 2- and 6-month storage at the temperature of -20 degrees C the content of nitrates did not change as compared with their level after scalding. In preserved spinach after the 15-month storage the content of nitrates decreased, but at the same time the content of nitrites increased. In preserved carrot the pick contained more nitrates than solid parts
