YACON INULIN LEACHING DURING HOT WATER BLANCHING [PDF]

Ciência e Agrotecnologia, 2015
ABSTRACTYacon roots contain inulin, which has prebiotic properties and it may be used as sucrose or fat substitutes. However, inulin is very soluble in water. The loss of this important nutrient during blanching is caused mainly by diffusion or leaching, which might be diminished if blanching temperature - time conditions are correctly employed.
