Other claims from this paper (15)
- Intervention effect Pretreatment increased onion color difference to 18-23 units against fresh control.
- Intervention effect Onion pH did not differ significantly except in stir-fried samples.
- Association Onion hardness tended to decrease with treatment time.
- Intervention effect Hot-water immersion damaged onion micro-structures above 2 min.
- Intervention effect Stir-frying damaged onion structure above 210 sec.
- Intervention effect Blanched onion had lower ascorbic acid content than fresh onion.
- Intervention effect Blanched onion had lower free sugar content than fresh onion except for stir-fried onion.
- Intervention effect Treated onion succinic acid content decreased significantly compared with other organic acids.
- Intervention effect Hot-water blanching inactivated onion peroxidase by more than 92%.
- Intervention effect Steam blanching inactivated onion peroxidase by more than 92%.
- Intervention effect Stir-frying inactivated onion peroxidase by 76%.
- Intervention effect Treated onion mesophilic and psychrotrophic bacteria counts were undetected or fell to near 3-log.
- Observation Yeast was detected only after one minute of onion stir-frying.
- Intervention effect Steam-treated onion samples had no detected bacterial or yeast counts.
- Recommendation The authors identified two minutes of steam treatment as optimal for onion quality and safety.
