Effect Of Roasting Conditions On Hardness, Moisture Content And Colour Of Pistachio Kernels, Ahmad Shakerardekani

Roasting of whole-kernels is an important step in the production of pistachio paste. The effect of
hot air roasting temperatures (90-190°C) and times (5-65 min) on the hardness, moisture content and colour
attributes (‘L’, ‘a’ and ‘b’ values and yellowness index) of both whole-kernel and ground-state were investigated
using response surface methodology (RSM). Increases in roasting temperature and time caused a decrease in all
the responses except for ‘a’ value of ground-state. The interaction and quadratic models sufficiently described
the changes in the hardness and colour values, respectively. The result of RSM analysis showed that hardness
and colour attributes (‘L’ …

Effect Of Sugar, Pectin And Acid Balance On The Quality Characteristics Of Pineapple (Ananas Comosus) Jam., Emmanuel Ohene Afoakwa, Dorinda Nartey, Joseph Ashong, George Annor

Investigations were conducted on the effects of sugar concentration (0%, 50%, and 100%), pH balance (3.0, 3.2, and 3.5) and high methoxy pectin concentration (0%, 0.5%, and 1.0%) on the chemical, physico-chemical characteristic of pineapple jams using standard analytical methods. Inclusion of 50% sugar was observed to improve the colour of the jam as well as the texture, gel set and solid content. The low calorie jams had unacceptable texture, colour, gel set and total soluble solids content. The jams of this formulation were too soft, and could not hold their form. Addition of 100% sugar concentration did not improve …
