Influence of temperature abuses on the quality of frozen broad beans.

Author(s) : MARTINS R. C., DESPRÉ B., MOLINAR A. F., et al.

Summary

Test samples underwent three types of abuses: simulating the pack in the outermost corner of a pallet when placed at room temperature, defrosting in a display cabinet and home transport. Control samples were kept at -18 °C, more or less 2 °C. Several quality parameters were analysed along storage. No significant difference in acidity, pH, moisture and sugars was detected, and no regeneration of peroxidase was observed. There is a significant difference in terms of colour, flavour intensity and firmness, but there was no preference for any of the samples. Special care must be taken to keep a constant storage temperature.
