VERFAHREN ZUR HERSTELLUNG VON ENTWÄSSERTEN PRODUKTEN
摘要
A method for preparing dehydrated fruits, vegetables and tubers, particularly potato products. The steps of the method include: boiling the whole raw edible product or slices or pieces of the raw edible product for a time sufficient to partially cook the starch and soften the tissue of the edible product; comminuting the cooked product; and drying the comminuted product. The raw edible product is preferably unpeeled or partially peeled.The resulting dehydrated product: (1) retains more Vitamin C; (2) has a lighter color; (3) has a higher percent of free amylose; (4) has fewer broken cells; and (5) has fewer degradation products than a corresponding product produced by conventional methods.
