RESUMO
A study was conducted on calcium chloride treatment of canned okra acidified by adding either acetic, lactic, malic or tartaric acids or by lactic fermentation. The quality of the processed okra was determined by physical, chemical, microbiological and sensory analyses after a two month storage period at room temperature. The results indicated the possibility of processing high quality okra by small canneries, with low cost equipment and low energy requirements. The acidification procedures ensure minimal risk of botulism
