Effects of hot rehydration in the presence of hydrogen peroxide on microbial quality, texture, color, and antioxidant activity of cold-stored intermediate-moisture sun-dried figs
(Institute of Food Technologists, 2005-04)
Pectin methylesterase (PME) causes considerable softening in intermediate-moisture (IM) figs rehydrated at 30°C and cold stored at 28% to 29% moisture content. Rehydration of figs at 80°C for 16 min inactivated PME partially ...
Potential application of hot rehydration alone or in combination with hydrogen peroxide to control pectin methylesterase activity and microbial load in cold-stored intermediate-moisture sun-dried figs
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2004-04)
Sun-dried figs contain a considerable amount of pectin methylesterase (PME) activity (22 μM COOH/ min/g). The enzyme causes softening and loss of desired gummy texture in cold-stored intermediate-moisture (IM) sun-dried ...
