The effects of four different blanching methods - boiling water, steam, stepwise, and a mixed method microwave followed by boiling water on the texture and ascorbic acid content of frozen white asparagus were compared. The results showed that microwaving followed by boiling water yielded a more acceptable and uniform product texture, shortening blanching time and reducing ascorbic acid losses. Slow rates are the best method to thaw precoocked frozen asparagus
