RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN PROCESSING CONDITIONS, MECHANICAL AND TEXTURAL PROPERTIES OF COOKED LENTILS

Lentils were soaked for 1 to 3 h and cooked in water or in salt solutions for 15 to 45 min. All multiple correlations between the processing parameters, the weight increase, Instron hardness measurement and sensory attributes were statistically significant. Sensory hardness and chewiness can be predicted on the basis of multiple correlations using the physical properties as independent variables. Correlations between all characteristics, their logarithms and reciprocal values showed that the experimental data gave the best approximations with the measured data, which was in agreement with McBride’s observations. The other psychometric laws (Weber-Fechner, Stevens and Beidler) gave less satisfactory results, even when differences were mostly small. Instron can be used for the prediction of sensory hardness and chewability.

W latach 2022-2024 kwartalnik naukowy Polish Journal of Food and Nutrition Sciences realizuje projekt nr RCN/SP/0520/2021/1 finansowany ze środków budżetu państwa – Ministerstwo Edukacji i Nauki w ramach programu „Rozwój czasopism naukowych”. Dofinansowanie wynosi 120 000 zł. W ramach projektu podejmowane są działania zmierzające do podniesienia poziomu praktyk wydawniczych i edytorskich, zwiększenia wpływu czasopism na rozwój nauki oraz utrzymania się czasopism w międzynarodowym obiegu naukowym.

In the years 2022-2024, the scientific quarterly Polish Journal of Food and Nutrition Sciences accomplishes a project no. RCN/SP/0520/2021/1 financed from the state budged – Ministry of Education and Science Republic of Poland in the framework of a program “Development of scientific journals”. The financing amounts to 120,000 PLN. The program aims at improving the level of publishing and editing practices, increasing the impact of scientific journals on science development, and extending the international range of scientific journals.
