Type of article: Article

Summary

The authors investigated the dynamic properties of three frozen vegetable purees (broccoli-potato; carrot-potato; celery-potato) during heating and cooking, and also studied the effects of freeze-thaw cycles on rheological properties. During heating, dynamic properties showed the influence of the gelatinization of potato starch grains on the rheological behaviour of the systems. During cooling, raised elasticity appears related to water loss or retrogradation of starch grains. Freeze-thaw cycles exerted temperature or product-related effects.
