Effect Of Roasting Conditions On Hardness, Moisture Content And Colour Of Pistachio Kernels, Ahmad Shakerardekani Feb 2011

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

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’ …
