Question

Match the peeling technique in Column I with the vegetable, for which it is used in industry, given in Column II.

• A. P-3, Q-4, R-1, S-2
• B. P-4, Q-1, R-3, S-2
• C. P-4, Q-3, R-2, S-1
• D. P-4, Q-3, R-1, S-2

Hint:

Remember: Knife = cucumber, Abrasion = potato, Flame = brinjal, Flash = tomato. These peeling techniques are chosen based on skin type and industrial processing needs.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Knife peeling 
Knife peeling is mostly used for vegetables like cucumber, where manual/simple mechanical removal of peel is required. $⇒$ P – 4. 
Step 2: Abrasion peeling 
This method uses rollers or brushes to physically abrade the skin off. It is widely used in potato peeling for chips and fries. $⇒$ Q – 3. 
Step 3: Flame peeling 
Flame peeling is suitable for vegetables with thin skins like brinjal (eggplant) where a flame burns off the peel. $⇒$ R – 1. 
Step 4: Flash peeling 
Flash peeling (steam or hot water treatment followed by sudden cooling) is applied to tomatoes, which loosens the peel for easy removal. $⇒$ S – 2. Hence, the correct matching is: P-4, Q-3, R-1, S-2.
