=This investigation was carried out to evaluate and compare the effect of microwave and pressure cooking methods on the contents of vitamin C in selected vegetables. Total vitamin C contents of raw vegetables ranged between to mg/100g respectively. Microwave and pressure cooking for 2 to 3 min resulted in considerable loss of vitamin C. However, the loss was higher in the case of pressure cooking when compared to microwave cooking. Therefore, microwave cooking can be preferred over pressure cooking. |
