Be. Verlinden et al., THE STARCH GELATINIZATION IN POTATOES DURING COOKING IN RELATION TO THE MODELING OF TEXTURE KINETICS, Journal of food engineering, 24(2), 1995, pp. 165-179
A dynamic model for texture changes during cooking treatments of potat
o samples was developed. The model includes the kinetics of the gelati
nization process and was compared with a simpler model lacking this fe
ature. Model parameters were derived from texture measurements on pota
to samples. The experimental results and simulations show that the gel
atinization process contributes only to a limited extent to the textur
e.
