Kinetics of phytate hydrolysis during storage of red kidney beans and the implication in hard-to-cook development KU Leuven
In this study, the kinetics of phytate (inositol hexaphosphate, InsP6) hydrolysis by endogenous phytase in red kidney beans stored at varying conditions of temperature (25-42 °C) and moisture content (6.9-14.5%) was determined and the potential role in hard-to-cook (HTC) development was evaluated. In addition, the concept of glass transition temperature (Tg) was assessed and correlated against the rate of phytate hydrolysis. Under the conditions ...
