For the development of elderly-friendly food, the physicochemical properties and preferences of cooked prepared with various blanching times were examined. As fermentation progressed, significant differences in samples were observed with overall decreasing trends of pH, reducing sugar, lightness (L), yellowness (b), and hardness. Titratable acidity, redness (a), and lactic acid increased during the storage time. The preference test showed that the sample blanched for 3 min (SK3) scored the highest in aroma, taste, texture, and overall acceptance. Overall, SK3 was the most preferred as cooked, which helps elderly people suffering from mastication and deglutition.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
