Influence of Pre-drying and Drying Treatments on the Physicochemical and Functional Properties of Purple Sweet Potato Flour | Chapter 1 | Current Perspectives in Agriculture and Food Science Vol. 5

 The study was attended to determine the belongings of pre-drying and drying treatments on purple sweet vegetable flour's physicochemical, working, antioxidant activity, and phytochemical components (PSPF). The flours were groomed from purple-fleshed sweet vegetable slices soaked in water, 1% citric acid solution, and steam for 15 min before drying. The piping hot process increased the antioxidant project of raw purple-fleshed sweet vegetable roots by 28.56% and presented PSPF with intense color attributes, an nearly neutral pH, the maximal total soluble complete content, highest water absorption index, water-dissolved index, swelling ability, gelation capacity, and antioxidant activity but shortest fat absorption competency values compared to added pre-drying treatments. pH was shortest, and total phenolic, flavonoid, and anthocyanidin contents were best in samples soaked in 1% citric acid solution before drying. Based on b*/a* percentages, all flours were red main and were more peonidin rich. Therefore, the best quality crush into fine grains was produced when sweet vegetable slices were steamed before drying.
