Aroma behaviour during steam cooking within a potato starch-based model matrix.
2012
To help understand the organoleptic qualities of steam cooked foods, the kinetics of aroma release during cooking in a potato starch based model matrix was studied. Behaviour of components having a major impact in potato flavour were studied using solid phase micro extraction-gas chromatography (SPME-GC). Evolution of microstructure of potato starch model-matrix during steam cooking process was analyzed using environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM). Both aroma compounds that are naturally present in starch matrix and those that were added were analyzed. Both the aroma compounds naturally presented and those added had different behaviour depending on their physico-chemical properti…
New insights on the thermal analysis of low moisture composite foods.
2014
Abstract Low moisture baked products were investigated with a view to characterising the effect of both formulation and humidity on their physical stability. At the end of the baking process, the samples were in the amorphous state as a result of starch gelatinization and sugar melting. Their thermal properties were analyzed with differential scanning calorimetry and their glass transitions were studied. The DSC thermograms were thoroughly studied through a Gaussian deconvolution of the first derivative of their heat flow. This approach evidenced a multiple phase behavior with different glass transitions in composite systems. They were associated with either a polymer-rich phase and/or a pl…
