摘要 : Foam-mat drying of cowpea using glyceryl monostearate (GMS) and egg albumin (EG) as foaming agents was investigated. GMS and EG were incorporated into cowpea paste (22%, 25% and 28% total solids) at 2.5, 5.0, 7.5, 10.0, 12.5 and 1... 展开 Foam-mat drying of cowpea using glyceryl monostearate (GMS) and egg albumin (EG) as foaming agents was investigated. GMS and EG were incorporated into cowpea paste (22%, 25% and 28% total solids) at 2.5, 5.0, 7.5, 10.0, 12.5 and 15% (w/w), and whipped for 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18 and 21 min, maintaining 15, 25 and 35 degreesC foaming temperatures. Foam density was measured and expressed in g/cm(3). Cowpea foams were dried at 60 degreesC (Twb, wet bulb temperature 35 degreesC) for 48 min. Sensory attributes of akara produced from fresh and reconstituted pastes were evaluated. 收起
