Abstract
The present invention provides a novel process for removing the pellicle from nut kernels and a blanching composition for use in the treatment of nuts. More particularly, the process of the invention comprises the steps of: (a) immersing nut kernels in a composition comprising a mixture of a vegetable oil and a wetting agent in a solution of water and, optionally, a sugar, at ambient temperature to soften and loosen the pellicle; (b) removing the nut kernels from the composition and draining the nut kernels; (c) exposing the nut kernels to ambient temperature water to remove the pellicle; and (d) separating the nut kernels from the pellicle.
