Abstract
|
|
|
The microstructure of whole peeled cured (held at 30¡É and 85¡90% RH for 7 days after harvest) sweetpotato ¢¥Centennial¢¥, cooked by microwave heating (MW), conventional oven (BK), microwave heating/baking(NWBK), and microwave heating/holding/microwave heating (MWHO) processes was studied. The BK converted starch into sugars while the MW cooking converted little of the starch into sugars. A MWHO treatment of cured sweetpotatoes resulted in a poduct similar to the BK product. A MWBK combination treatment resulted in a product that resembled the baked onlt product. The MW cooked sweetpotatoes showed a more compact structure (gelatinization of starch) than the BK sweetpotatoes.
