Influence of ultrasonication during soaking on water absorption and Softness characteristics in the cooking process of cowpea by Sholeh Rostamirad, K.G. Duodu, J.P. Meyer, M. Sharifpur

“…The deployment of ultrasonication and increased cooking temperature were observed to reduce the kinetic parameter (water absorption) and elevate the softening rates and activation energy (for hydration and softening). A synergy of the trio treatments reduced the total cooking duration from 120 min to 90 min (25 %), thus promoting the benefit of deploying ultrasonication to soften cowpeas and other seeds rapidly.…”
