The ascorbic acid content represented 1.12 and 0.78g kg-1 fresh weight in raw florets and stems respectively. After blanching (for different times) and freezing, the ascorbic acid content decreased to values of 0.55±0.56g kg-1 fresh weight in florets and 0.35±0.36g kg-1 fresh weight in stems. The industrial processing involved in canning decreased the ascorbic acid content to 0.18g kg-1 fresh weight in florets. The peroxidase activity observed in the florets and stems of raw broccoli was 308.8 and 278.6mmolmin-1 per 100g fresh weight respectively. The peroxidase activity remaining in frozen florets varied from 0.9 to 0.2%, while that in stems showed values of between 7.5 and 8.4%. These values for stems were within the range recommended for residual activity after blanching and freezing. The peroxidase activity of canned broccoli florets was practically undetectable.
