ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Acid heat-sensitive foodstuffs or low acid heat-sensitive foodstuffs having a high natural buffering capacity are thermally processed in the presence of a mixture of an acid and its lactones, preferably an aldonic acid with its lactones, whereby one or more of the flavor, color, or texture of the foodstuff is retained, compared to the foodstuff obtained when the acid and its lactones are not employed. Also, seafood is thermally processed in the presence of a mixture of an acid and its lactones, whereby, without need for salt, the texture and flavor of he seafood are maintained through the thermal processing and storage. The preferred mixture is gluconic acid with its lactones, glucono-delta lactone and glucono-gamma lactone, provided to the foodstuff by combining it with a precursor of gluconic acid, preferably glucono-delta lactone. Furthermore, methods are provided for thermal processing a plastic container having foodstuff therein to reduce softening and distortion of the plastic during thermal processing, wherein by combining the foodstuff with an acidulant, the thermal processing time-temperature parameter is reduced below what it would have been without the acidulant, and thereby softening and distortion of the plastic is significantly reduced.
